Advanced Writing Techniques (part 1)

(CREDITS):

--Written by thewriter197.

--I Wrote this to help me write in more ways.

--There was someone who called me out on my work. It was a potential employer who had more writing experience then me. He knew I was using the same techniques from time to time. He knew it. I do not how he knew but he knew. Only a skilled writer can sense the fact that I been using the same writing techniques for long time. I do need some new ones. I been using the same techniques for a long time. His words annoyed me a bit. Maybe more then a bit.

--So, I decided to make some advanced writing techniques to give me a better edge with my writing and teach me how to write better.

--I will look at these techniques from time to time and add more later. I will put the new stuff I learn in another post.

thewriter197 works for (telov)

      I now work for Telov. The company is a small businessman. I am going to write some fantasy book stories and sci-fi book stories. My writing work will not be uploaded on my blog. The client wants me to keep the work hidden. I will only post a summary of the work when I finish it. I will be writing stories for the client and I will have to be very descriptive of the environments and add some meaning dialogue. The stories will be similar to the Dragonlance stories or the Forgotten realm stories. I will be following a outline from the client. The client will direct the story. I will be required to edit any plot holes or content. The stories will be mostly about sci-fi and Greek myths.

     The guy is going to give me a few days of work every two weeks. I have to work with the client's budget. I am not going to be making much from this client monthly but I will still do the job. I am only going to be working a few days every two weeks anyway. Now, I need to gain some fantasy writing experience and describing the world experience. I do have experience doing these things, but I need more experience. So, I will be working for Telov for now on. I think this job might last one year or three.

    I will have to look for more work. I wish the client would give me more days of work. This would be good because I wouldn't need to look for more work. In any event, I will look for another book deal or job. To be continued........
