A Little About My Writing Ambitions

I always wanted to write a best-seller, especially in the horror/thriller genre, but after exploring every form of writing possible while studying my Diploma of Professional Writing and Editing, I've found that being able to produce a well-written essay or successful poem provides the same level of satisfaction. It doesn't matter what I write, as long as I write it well.

Writing for children is the hardest, yet most rewarding, albeit not in a monetary sense. Yes, it's a harder market to crack, but a child's enthusiasm for a story I've written holds a magic that adults just don't possess.

The most important thing for me right now is that everything I write makes a difference to someone's life. Whether it's successful copy for an advertisement, a poem for a special event or a bigger project, my goal is to make a difference with carefully crafted words.

I've been pretty quiet on both blogs throughout October. 

That's because I've been busy gaining some valuable editing experience and finishing off this year's assignments. As everyone winds down for the year I'm pushing on with trying to build a reputation in the writing and editing industry. I even edited my first memoir!

I've had my publishing logo created and my Poetic Puppets logo is only a few weeks away. It won't be long before I start investigating the best options for a website.

My ventriloquist book has arrived and I've been busy scrawling notes on ideas to entertain the kindergarten kids. The closer we get to launching Poetic Puppets the more exciting it gets and the more nervous I get!

But for now, I must get back to refining my Short & Twisted submission and mastering InDesign.
