In the popular book and movie “The DaVinci Code,” people are introduced to a mysterious world where symbols have many hidden and profound meanings that stretch into the far reaches of the past. They are also shown that this symbolic language was used by Leonardo DaVinci in his painting of the Last Supper to hint that Jesus may have been married to His disciple Mary Magdalene. In the process, it is suggested that these symbols have esoteric, or even paganistic roots. However, according to Historian, Bible Scholar, and Author Helena Lehman, this symbolic language has a Judeo-Christian origin that can be traced from Adam’s son Seth down through the ages.

There I was on a restful weekend by the sea; enjoying coffee and croissant in a quaint little café at the end of the North Shore pier.
Looking outside through a musty rain smattered window my gaze was attracted to the contours of the magnificent edifice that is Blackpool Tower; drinking in the lines of the intricate steel framework that leads to the observation deck, to the twin platforms one above the other, and all the way up to the crow's nest.
Arriving at 380 feet there is a breathtaking panoramic view. On a clear day you can see as far as North Wales, the Lake District, the Trough of Bowland and as the sun sets on a cloudless evening, The Isle Of man is visible across the Irish Sea. |

In the writing site where I belong, there is a SLAM underway. It is not the kind of oral SLAM that goes on in the coffee houses, but it is a friendly online poetry competition that is considered a huge event by our members. Poetry is a big craze in our site, and although the site is a general writing site, almost every member has tried his hand in poetry. |

Writer's block -- that sudden, seemingly inexplicable inability to put words to paper -- can strike any writer at any time. In fact, inexperienced writers suffer from it more often than they realize: they just don't recognise it for what it is. They think the lack of confidence, motivation or experience is based on a far more serious problem. They're half-right. What they don't realize is, that IS writer's block, or at least some of the symptoms of it. But they are right about it being more serious, because writer's block IS serious. Fortunately, it's also curable, too.

As writers, we are unique online as we already have a readymade market, regardless of what we write. All we have to do is take our genre, whether it's romance, non fiction, poetry, fiction, or any other form of writing and go where the readers are.
However, although it's easier for us to find our markets, it's also important that we use marketing methods that are effective for us, help us tell others about our writing, and develop a market of hungry readers who want to buy everything we sell. |
