I'm a third culture kid born in China, Beijing. I was brought up in Yangon, Myanmar (Burma); Cairo, Egypt; New York, USA. I'm now living in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), India. And I use all the crazy experiences I get traveling to fuel my writing.

Keep writing.
I wish you a happy holidays and best wishes. I want to thank everyone for taking the time to look at my page, any reviews or comments. I am taking a semi-break and will be back in full force in January 2007.
Have you heard of “mapping”? It is a technique, to develop fictional writing. Mostly used for story/novel writing, but it can also be applied to poetry. It is a great way to develop your creativity and find new sources of inspiration.
We had the pleasure of enjoying some wonderful pieces for the last challenge. Oxymorons can certainly be fun!
Now this week’s challenge is a little different.
As writers, we have to play many different roles to successfully market our works. From sales persons, to marketers, to advertisers we have to manage to develop a series of skills to promote our work and make sure someone gets to read it. I believe as writers, our ultimate goal is to have someone to “listen” to what we have to say.
What would you say if you had to sell a concept that people do not think about too often? Concepts that are embedded deep inside of us, and that as writers we usually ponder many times. How would you make someone “buy” them?
Life gets crazy sometimes, and we can’t always participate by creating. But remember to stop by and show your fellow writers some support by voting near the end of the week. You have time to post until Sunday, and to vote until Monday 2pm EST.
I hope your week is going great. This week’s challenge is arriving a little late due to some technical difficulties, but it’s here and ready for you to have some fun.
