Editor & Publisher: writersontherise@earthlink.net ************************************************************************ Subscribe/Unsubscribe at the bottom of this (brief) letter ************************************************************************ Letter From The Editor Dear Fellow Writers, Welcome Back To Learning Preschool, kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, college, grad school – I love school! Always have and always will, so it’s no wonder I have a hybrid career, half-writer and half- teacher. In this month’s back-to-school issue of Writers On The Rise you will hear what back-to-school means to some of our columnists. For me, one of the most powerful aspects of going back to school is making my mind receptive to new input and ideas. I am positively giddy when I think of all of the new things my daughter, Samantha, will be absorbing when she starts school next week, all because her mind is so open to new ideas. She’s a little sponge brain! How open is your mind as a writer? Do you stubbornly cling to what you think as though it’s set in stone? Do you keep trying to make unproductive habits work for you, even though they haven’t worked in the past? And here’s a really tough question. Do you focus more on what others are (or aren’t) learning than you do on your own growth and professional development? All of these are time-wasters for anyone, not just writers. The cure for any of these mental sand traps is an open mind, a pristine notebook and pen, a wrinkle-free folder (perhaps one with cartoon characters on it) and registration in a class with a teacher, professor or instructor you are enthusiastic to learn from. It’s like the first day of school all over again! Thanks to the Internet you can specifically find the perfect class to fit the next stage of growth in your career. Who have you learned from in your online and e-mail classes? Please e- mail us and describe any classes you would like others to know about. Include a link and I will consider posting your recommendation on our resources page. When we were younger, school was a concrete place to go and learn much more than simply what happened in the classroom. And online and e-mail classes can be just as educational. Every class has a group mind, a synergy, and a teaching-learning x-factor that is spontaneous and energizing. Similarly, I like to think of every issue of Writers On The Rise as an opportunity to learn from my peers and this month is no exception! We have an interview with marketing expert Penny Sansevieri, author of From Book To Bestseller and a feature called “Blogging Basics” by columnist, Sage Cohen. Personally, I think it’s our best issue ever (But, hey, I think that every month!)
