From: Issue 40 November 2000, Page 88 By: Matt Villano Photographs by: Doug Fogelson After nine years of working from a tiny desk in the corner of his tiny apartment in midtown Manhattan, freelance writer Phil Scott knew that he needed to get a life. He spent whole days without seeing another living soul, weeks without doing in-person interviews, and months without exchanging ideas with his professional colleagues. "I was a hermit in one of the most populous cities in the world," he says. "Writing is supposed to be creative, but because of my solitude, my situation was a total drag." Then Scott, 39, discovered 72 Mad, an airy, bright, and sometimes raucous workspace for free agents that is located on the 12th floor of a former sweatshop on Madison Avenue. The commune, as some call it, was founded in 1997 by Basia Hellwig, 48, and Anne Mollegen Smith, 54, magazine editors who now run Qwerty Communications Inc., a publishing consultancy. Hellwig and Smith lease the entire floor of the building and parcel out individual spaces to freelancers like Scott and 24 other tenants, most of whom are writers, editors, designers, and consultants. "We wanted to create a loose-knit community for creative people that was professional but not stuffy," says Hellwig. Good-natured chaos is more like it. At 2 PM, some colleagues take a break and play a game of Nerf Ball. And Fridays at 4 PM, everyone gathers for swing-dancing lessons.

Whatever meanings different writers attach to it, it is a term we recognize. Anecdotally, it seems to be the term most often used for the most acute problems with generating text. It is also the one that is most feared - by any writer - and, perhaps, the most difficult to resolve. In fact, the term 'writer's block' may be a term that people latch on to in order to try and explain why they are not writing; in the absence of a more precise definition, they resort to this term as a kind of catch-all. It certainly identifies the problem, even if it does not account for it.

Since launching the HomeOfHeroes.com website, numerous people have shared their own writings with us from time to time. A few have even shared stories or poems that were favorites of a Medal of Honor recipient friend, father, or other relative. We hope you will find some inspiration, education, and perhaps even some motivation from the stories and other materials shared in these pages. Stories POETRY ART Special Features A year ago the 8th grade students at SACRED HEART Elementary School in Ville Platte conducted a special study on heroism, patriotism, and the Medal of Honor. Each student adopted a Medal of Honor recipient from history, researched his life and heroism, and then wrote about him. The culmination of this effort was a 40 page newspaper, published by the local newspaper. Pictured at left is the cover for that project, featuring a photo of MOH recipient Jefferson DeBlanc visiting with some of the students. Click on it to read the pages written by these students.

    Extractions: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 6/13/97 About fifteen years ago, a very fine, very successful writer asked me to his home to discuss a project. He had created and/or produced a number of hit comedies in his day. We'd worked together on a show which, alas, did not fall into the "hit" category but I was still honored to see my name in the same credit-roll as his. He was bright, he was honest, and he was very respectful of the creative energies of others. So when he said he had a show and wanted to involve me, I said yes. You would have too, if you'd known this man. He sat me down and, wasting little time on preliminaries, told me how his new venture had come about. About a year earlier, he had heard that one of the networks had made a holding deal with that wonderful comic actor, Jack Weston. A "holding deal" meant that they were paying him not to go elsewhere while they tried to locate a project to star him. My friend had a semi-autobiographical idea for a show that was absolutely perfect for Weston so he called up the network and "took" (as they say) a meeting. He described the idea at that point and I loved it. So did the network the day when he told it to them. They made a deal with this writer-producer to write-produce a pilot and he went off to tackle the first half of that task.

    http://www.galactic-guide.com/articles/2U53.html
    
    Extractions: It is a well known fact that writers write some of their best works when depressed, moody, and poor. The reasons for this are essentially that if someone is happy and basically well off then they really don't have much to write about. Most writing about nice things is rather banal. Examples of "nice-writing" could be Shakespeare's sonnets. Lots of roses and summer's days for example. Most modern reviewers criticize Shakespeare's poetry for not having a part for the "Arnold Schwarzenegger character." This happy-factor was the basis the of the holiday/prison camp called "Writers' Block." In Writers' Block meals were bread and water, cable TV was rationed to one hour a day, people were locked up in rooms with nothing but paper and pencils (the pencils had rubber leads so writers couldn't hurt themselves), and visitors had to see the inmates through bullet proof glass.

    Extractions: The Kansas City Star United States were dying of AIDS-related illnesses at an alarmingly high rate. The series often referred to a poll sent by the Star to 3,000 U.S. priests. When the series was published U.S. Controversy followed. A number of critics and colleagues felt that what The Kansas City Star published was not accurate journalism. The first grievance can be found in an article written by Columbus Dispatch reporter Jennifer Halperin , who described the above statistic as misleading. Mentioned in her article is a senior analyst with the Statistical Assessment Service in Washington, Iain Murray, who pointed out that the article looks as if it says one thing but upon further scrutiny says quite another. Murray told Halperin are said The Star fought back, quoting an AIDS expert who deemed the comparison to be common and legitimate, also pointing out that the series also made the comparison between priests and all adult males. But Halperin Also , the comparison between priests and adult males was not published in the second paragraph of the lead story; the comparison between priests and the general public was.

You know where you want to go but how are you going to get there? What do you write next? You've ground to a halt. You're out of ideas. You're stuck! The first thing to do is to sit down at that desk! If you walk around saying, "Oh, I just don't feel like writing today. I'll wait until I can think of something," that will be the end of your story. I've read dozens of articles by well-known and even very famous writers who say that the hardest part of writing is actually sitting down and getting to it. It's even harder when you know you're stuck. I've been known to wash the kitchen floor in order to avoid my computer on some occasions, and if you were a member of my family you'd know how much I hate that particular chore. In fact, my son came home from school once, walked into the kitchen, and said, "Uh-oh, Mom must be stuck with her writing again. The kitchen floor's clean!"

    Extractions: S URMOUNTING YOUR FEAR OF THE BLANK PAGE Taken alone, the basic act of writing seems simple to most: Put pen to paper or fingertips to keyboard. What foils many would-be authors? The defining elements of content and structure. Because most professionals are required to write memos, reports, department communications and the like, a facility for writing effectively and efficiently can have monumental results: Less time spent on reworking documents, allowing you to concentrate on other responsibilities; Confidence in your materials, ensuring that your audience members are getting the information they need; A well-informed audience, increasing their competence and value to the organization; The ability to more clearly and accurately communicate, a trait consistently rated high for influencing others, building consensus, managing well and avoiding misunderstandings. Here are tips that we have gathered, honed, practiced and professed to collectively write thousands of effective articles, books, web pieces and other communication tools: Walk yourself through the points that you want to make in the written piece instead of banging on your keyboard, spilling every thought you’ve ever had about the topic. Again, without a path to follow, you’ll wander around the topic for hours before reaching "base camp" (your key point). This is not to say that during the research stage you can’t "brain dump" all of your information into a rambling journal entry. If this activity fuels your thinking, great. Just don’t allow it to hinder the writing process.

    Extractions: Home > Job Survival You've been staring at your computer screen for hours. You know that fast-paced feature article or short story is there, somewhere, just waiting to come out. If only you could write something - anything! All writers know about writer's block. But you needn't let writer's block ruin your writing aspirations. Move those annoying, invisible writing obstacles out of the way. Steps: Choose a subject for your piece that gives you a surge of energy. Are your emotions invested in this project? If not, look for a new subject or a fresh idea. A less-than-interesting topic will make the best of writers feel blocked. Free associate. Sometimes a writer's tendency toward perfectionism stops him dead cold in his tracks. Give yourself 15 minutes to be totally free of your "inner critic." Set a timer and start typing - write whatever pops into your head, even if it is total gibberish, a shopping list, words that rhyme - whatever. The idea is to get your creative juices flowing. Some writers do this exercise every day before they begin writing. Read the work of your favorite writer. There is nothing like inspired, well-composed prose to make you want to pick up a pen (or put your fingers on a keyboard).

    Karleen Bradford s help page on problems that all writers come up against where to get ideas, query letters, writers block. HOW TO OVERCOME writers block.  
    http://www.makersgallery.com/bradford/howto.html
    
    Extractions: Themes When I was trying to get my first book published, back in the early 1970's, query letters were unheard of. The way you did it then was to type up your manuscript, send it off to a publisher, and wait. Wait, is the operative word here. Six months, sometimes even longer. Then, more often than not, it would come back coffee-stained and dog-eared. You would retype it and send it out again to the next publisher on your list. Multiple submissions sending the manuscript to more than one publisher at the same timewere absolutely forbidden. It's no wonder that it took me six years to get my first novel accepted and another four to place my second. After that, things got easier. Editors knew me and my books began to sell. Because of that, I have never actually written a query letter. I wish I had had the option, though. Query letters make writers' lives a lot easier today, and editors', too. A writer can send out several letters to different publishers, all at once, and then make a decision as where to send his or her manuscript based on the replies. Or lack thereof. An editor can get a good idea of how well a writer can write and how interesting the proposed manuscript might be just from reading such a letter. So it makes sense to put as much effort into your query as you have into your manuscript. If I had to write a query letter today, this is how it would go:

     Extractions: A few ideas that might help you crack it Stuck at a certain scene, can't seem to get past it? Then leap ahead, write another scene, a middle, an end... you can come back and sort that tricky scene out later. To prevent getting all dried up, stop half way through an exciting part of your writing, leave some for tomorrow and know where to start again. Go do some people watching; observe those people around you, and make up little stories about their lives, what they are doing there. Imagine yourself in their place. Use incidents or memories from your own life. They don't have to be exactly the same, but think about a certain situation, how that made you feel. Take the story from there. Discuss your work up till now with somebody else. It is always good to get someone elses point of view. Other people might have valuable suggestions or questions for/about your work.
