Mr Canning’s Writing Tips: Part III

Step right up Ladies and Gentleman, I have some more of my writing tips just for you. Read them, enjoy them, tell me what you think and maybe even try them out yourself.


 Tip #7: Keep a folder of cuttings
Get yourself a nice folder or even an empty shoebox and any newspaper or magazine articles that you like then cut them out and stick them inside. Sometimes random articles, especially ones based on news happenings around the world, can actually inspire to come up with stories to write. Maybe you can even create your own fictional account of how that certain event took place and who was involved. You never know, you might come up with a bestseller.

Tip #8: Observe the world around you
When your out and about during your daily travels, maybe your sat outside with a nice tea or coffee to go, take a look around at your surroundings and watch the people that pass you by and try to imagine what their lives are like, give them names, their own background, do what you normally would do when trying to come up with a character for your stories. Plus, pretend they are hiding a dark secret or have just committed a crime, play it out in your mind. Also try to picture a dramatic scene unfold before you and let your creative mind take control. The more you do it the more easily it will come to you. This is why we become writers right?

Okay, just two tips today and then next Friday I shall post two more and then that's my ten writing tips to the world. And for those of you who didn't catch the other two posts here they are: Part One & Part Two

Have a good weekend everybody

Take Care
