Once
you recognize the different types of articles and have come up with
a list of target markets for your periodical material, you are
finally ready to go to work on those manuscripts. The basic idea
being that you do not write anything until you know who you are
writing it for. At this point I want to offer you another tool to
help you collect, organize and compile all your potential ideas.
ARTICLE
IDEA FORM
Most
writers I know are busy people who struggle to find time to write.
They long for those free stretches of time when they can get to the
typewriter or computer and let the words flow. Unfortunately those
times come all too infrequently, and often when they do you sit down
and realize you don’t have a clue as to where to start. Sure you
have that folder full of ideas you’ve jotted on slips of paper,
backs of envelopes or on old napkins, but for most of them you have
“lost the vision” (or don’t have a clue as to what you had in
mind). Because that seems to be true of most writers, I have come up
with a simple form to help. (See tomorrow's blog).
