I am having a pretty big problem this morning. I keep getting asked to write for the Coconut Creek Life and Parkland/Coral Springs Life Magazine and I am finding out that while I might be able to talk well, writing is not something that I am very good at doing. I am a pretty simple guy, with simple words and a simple message. The people who write for this magazine have more degrees than a thermometer and use words that I don’t even understand in their writings. I guess that I am a little intimidated by the fact that maybe I have been fooling people for so long into thinking that I am smart, that if I submit what I have written down everyone will know that I am not.
I need some help!!!! Anyone out there a ghost writer where I can give you my thoughts and you can craft them in a way that is smart and eloquent?
Hi TJ….I will proof-read your work if you like. I’ve been asked to do that for other people in the past.
I am not good at proofing but I am good and crafting and organizing ideas. However if you are going to write as you preach, you have no problem my Brother, Pastor and friend. Here is some food for thinking:
The structure of the presentation
Stating and establishing the foundation of what is to be talk about is usually 30% of the piece. There what was is suppose to be good and stable is presented. Then Establishing the conflict, the problem, what affects the previously established. This section keeps building up the problem to the climax. This section is about 50% of the piece. The the solution and end. These could be applied to drama, poetry, music, commercials,and maybe your article.
Hope this help, Ivan
