YOU CAN BE A CREATIVE WRITER AND BE RUBBISH WITH LANGUAGE, SPELLING, AND GRAMMAR!
Now let's put that in our pipes and smoke it...
As a creative playwrite, author and blogger, I have given Aubrey, my alter ego, a third voice for a while now but I don't feel I can give my full effort when speaking third person.
So the gloves are off and Aubrey & I are one and I have a lot to say!
For all publications outside social media, my work is professionally edited. My books have been written and are currently being edited. They will be paid for in Steem as part of the pilot project steemit publishing by .
My plays are edited for free by our theatre group editor. It's important to get edited by the right people with the right expertise in that area. However, I won't lie, editing is expensive.
I have every confidence in my editors, I would not choose others and must express the importance in that confidence. However I have little confidence in my editing, because I get word blindness. I am going to try two things to build my confidence in my grammar to support my online presence. It would be impossible to get edited on every blog.
My writing may not look too bad, but that's because I use grammarly.
- Write at least 3,000 words every day to massage my writing brain. (I work on about 2,000 now with blogging, studying and book writing)
- I am going to pilot a short story on KDP using editing software (Premium Grammarly) as an experiment and publish the said book in a dyslexic friendly way. Apparently, all the tools are there on KDP, all I need Is a book cover which I will create myself.
There are software problems that do help. I use grammarly and recently mentioned dragon software. They may have more detail on that.
One last thing, before I step off my soap box. I do struggle with my dyslexic eyes to read on Steemit and I'm sure anyone like me would have the same issue.
I would love to hear more on how to make Steemit blogs more reader friendly.
That is all for now...
I write movie/book reviews, short stories, poems and other various fiction pieces. If you have a good bit of creative writing drop it in the comments. Any irrelevant links or comments asking for likes etc, I will ignore. Sorry about that...actually I'm not.
