Q: SD, a friend of
mine had started a business writing for other people. Is doing something like
this worth the effort?
A: I can’t answer
that question for you. there are people who pay someone else to write for them
all the time. The question is if you are willing to deal with other people
expectations of your work that is representing them. How are your people skills
and asking the right questions to understand another person’s thought process. And
lastly, when someone who provides this type of service and do well, the business
can get out of hand quickly. Deadlines are stressful and tied directly to your
reputation. I hope this helps. SD
Q: SD, do you ever
get negative feedback?
A: I get negative
feedback all the time. Some of it is constructive and others are just someone
needing some attention. All in all, I look at it in the simplest way. Ask any
farmer. In order to grow a healthy crop, there’s some crap involved. What I say
and how I say it has grown by leaps and bounds from what I had experienced in
the past and give me hope that it will grow even more tomorrow. The question I
like to ask myself from time to time is something every writer who writes for a
blog or website should ask themselves. Is my effort helping someone who may one
day help others. SD
Q: SD, have you ever
considered writing a children’s book?
A: Been there, done
that, and is still in the process of working over a story my son would tell me
as I drove him to and from school. The first children's story (none published
and to save the name from getting out) was about a bunny and his adventure to
make a princess feel better. Of course, this was something I had quickly
written for my daughter when she wasn’t feeling well. I read it so many times
that… Let just say I had read it numerous times. For parents who children have
or had a favorite book, DVD, or movie that can never be substituted ,you know
what I’m talking about. If you are thinking about writing a children’s book, go
to the best source for the best material, children (your own) and parents who
have children who are stuck on a favorite Book, DVD, or Movie. SD
