Improving Writing Skills for Kids

Improving Writing Skills for Kids

If you want to make your child become a great writer, you should cultivate the habit of writing from an early age, since the children have been able to read and write. According to Piaget, in Hurlock (2005: 39) cognitive abilities that allow the formation of understanding, developed in two main periods which includes four stages, sensory stage, preoperational stage, concrete operations stage, and the stage of formal operations.
  1. During the sensor motor stage of cognitive development of children begin to develop an understanding of themselves as separate and distinct from the environment, causality, time and space. This understanding can be obtained through sensor motor exploration. Sensor motor stage lasts from birth until the child was 2 years old.
  2. Preoperational stage of cognitive development that took place since the age of 2 years to 6 years, when the child is capable of using language and symbolic thinking. This is evident in their imaginative play. Today is a time of egocentric thinking, children are not able to accept the views of others and unable to solve problems involving the concepts of numbers or classes of objects.
  3. The third stage of cognitive development is the stage of concrete operations, which lasted from children aged 6 years to 11 years or 12 years. At this time the concept is vague and unclear from the preschool to be more concrete and specific. This allows children to begin to think deductively, formed the concept of space and time, and classify objects. They are able to take the role of others and this opened the way to a greater sense of reality.
  4. In the fourth and final stage of cognitive developments, the stage of formal operations, which started since the age of 11 AAU 12 years and continue, children are able to consider all likely in solving problems and capable of reasoning on the basis of hypotheses and propositions. As a result they can review the issue from different point of view and may consider various factors when solving problems. Children become more flexible thinking and concrete and they are able to combine information from several different sources.

With hope, the children will develop skills honed words, find an interesting object of discussion, and produced a fantastic paper. So, will rise of professional writers and ultimately the books in the market is no longer enlivened by the books out to be translated, the nation's children's books will grow to all the bookstores that exist in Indonesia.
Of course, to foster interest in writing in children requires several stages.
  1. Cultivate the ability of a child's imagination, by telling a few short stories that are easily digested by them, this story may be a short picture story which only amounted to 10-12 pages, in hopes that they can easily digest the meaning to be conveyed by the story. To be able to know their success rate in digesting the story, give the task to them to make a summary of the story, either in the form of retelling or write back in a few short sentences. After a few times summarized results showed good results, has been told in outline the meaning that has been told, then, begin by telling stories that substance, or a long story, a story that needs a full concentration when listening.
  2. Allowing reading. To be able to cultivate this habit, there is need for cooperation between parents and teachers in this success. Parents should take the time to invite children to the bookstore or library, every month or every few weeks and if possible buy a book which, according to the child interesting, create a library at home and at school, and make the schedule mandatory for children to read
  3. Create a resume Familiarize stories that have been there. After passing through two previous stages, child shall have progressed, both in understanding the stories we tell and have been accustomed to read on their own, without orders from us, begin to create a new task for the child, namely by asking him to make a summary of the story he had read. With multiple stages along with the growth of children. Every month there are developments, improved, every two weeks and so on.
  4. Familiarize make free stories, different stories that already exist. At this stage, children begin to be guided in issuing his imagination with the use of words and can be written into the sentence. After experiencing several stages, the child has had the ability to digest the story and retell in their words. Children have had to issue stock, develop, and write it in story form. At the beginning of its implementation, is still frequently encountered, the stories of children that sentence has not been uniform, but at the beginning and end of the story has led and describe an event.
  5. Publish it. after the children create a story, published the story with a stick in the bedroom, living room (by parents) or in the classroom and on school bulletin board (by teachers), after a few stories have been produced and according to you (parent or teacher) has produced a story Good, directed, composed, then publish the story by making the book a collection of stories with your own capital or can you promote to places of printing, electronic and print media.

How to Develop Creative Writing Ideas

How to Develop Creative Writing Ideas

In essence, everyone has a creative flair. One sign we are born as creative beings is our ability to communicate with the expression and fresh ideas. However, this provision alone is not sufficient. Creativity is like a muscle that needs to be constantly trained and developed. Creativity needs to accompany by a consistent perseverance in the process of developing creative ideas.

Developing Creative Ideas

How to Develop Creative Writing Ideas

Creating an ideas
Creative writers have the ability to create and produce work that is typical. The main substance is the idea. Then the question is often asked the writers, how to create a unique idea?
Is not every day a lot of ideas that occurred to us? Is not there a lot of emotion in us day after day? Are not many things that can be captured by our senses and paper used as raw material? The idea emerged from the thoughts, feelings, and our everyday experience. That's why professional writers often recommend that the authors has diary. Hernowo, a professional writer, said, "Do not underestimate the value of a diary. Each input - doodles that you read and read again opportunity for social and artistic talent you." The diary can be a storehouse of ideas the author.
One way to enrich the storehouse of ideas is to read. Write and read it like two inseparable sides of a coin. Reading can enrich our knowledge and vocabulary. The idea could also be stimulated by studying the idea of the various works of others. If we are more and more to absorb the contents of the reading, we will be more sensitive and observant stringing new ideas. Creative writer looks at his world as a laboratory of ideas, which enable it to find new ideas.

Developing Ideas
Ideas can emerge quickly, but it has often gone in a flash. Therefore, immediately tie your idea before it disappears. After that, write an outline of your idea. Although their ideas into words is not as easy as pouring a glass of water, keep trying. Many writers complain, "The idea there, but failed to become a masterpiece." Indeed, the creative process is inseparable from the will to describe the idea.
The idea can be developed by expanding the horizons of reference and our language. We need to prepare a reference material that can support our ideas. With leading technology and media today, we will not be difficult to find reference material from books, newspapers, internet, and various other reading materials. Meanwhile, to expand our linguistic horizons, the authors can familiarize themselves with new vocabulary, rules of language mastery, and mastery of knowledge of meaning.
In addition, at this stage the writer needs to mobilize the strength of his imagination in writing. In order to get the imagination, many writers have to immerse themselves in their stories. They live, breathe, and dream with him. Stephen King, author of the highly influential, said, "Writing is a creation, a creation of someone directing not only all knowledge, power, and ability alone, but he included the whole soul and the breath of his life."

Refining Ideas
Creative writer is a diligent worker. He will not be satisfied with the initial draft of his writings. He realized that his work is not completely finished product. Refinement process in order to achieve maximum results is not only done by a novice writer, even most of the writers who already have a name anyway. Editing should be done after the work was deposited some time. The author needs to make room for him, so he can edit the work with more objectives. The editorial process should not be done by the authors themselves. The author can also ask for help from others who are competent, to provide input or any significant change in his work.
These processes are not always easy to do. Almost all the beautiful work is the result of hard work. However, if the author has a talent, willingness, and persistence is consistent, these processes will be a challenging life experience for him. He will not be tired of giving birth, develop, and refine ideas in special packaging. He will follow up this process by continuing to practice writing, until finally creative works was launched.

Getting Started Writing
There are no specific tips in writing a novel than writing another story, such as short stories. Differences between the novel and short story are on the content and weight of the story alone.

How to Write a Novel
Each author can have their own way in creating a novel. The following are the possible ways you can take to achieve success in writing the novel:
  • Make an outline. Outline is a brief summary that contains the core of the novel to be written. In the outline, you can write the title of the novel, brief synopsis, the skeleton of your novel per chapter, a list of characters in your novel, setting the place and time that you would write. Outline will allow you to create a story that flows from one story to another story of a trace.
  • Write a trace. Writing of chapter per chapter will help you in getting a sequential story. It does not hurt your jumping in writing. But you will have difficulty later when will combine the stories into one novel intact. Writing in a row will also train you to think systematically.
  • Do not stop in the middle of the road. Many writers fail because they do not discipline in completing his work. When writing, sometimes it's time we run out of ideas. But you have to outsmart smart in times of crisis. There are many ways you can do according to your habits in the face of this period.
  • Pause for a moment. After the novel is finished, take a moment to give yourself space. There are writers who need to precipitate the first writings for some time. There are also writers who just need to walk around for a while or enjoy a glass of hot tea with fried bananas as a friend.
  • Read again. When we write, sometimes the words just flowed. It is the moments that are very precise so good to write. But sometimes you have to repeatedly re-read what you've written. Quite often the errors occurs either spelling mistakes or stories that make no sense, aka "disconnected." In re-reading, you will be able to find numerous errors and completing your novel.
There is no exact science that can be applied in a novel. The point is to keep writing and do not quit before you finish writing. All sorts of techniques do not apply here if you do not start writing. Therefore, start writing now.

Good writers are good readers. That is why, if you are interested to plunge into the world of authorship, the main requirement is to be diligent and get used to reading. Read anything that could be read. There are a lot of reading would be piling up ideas that could be used as writing material. Specifically in this discussion (and most often written) is to write articles.
The article itself can mean like news papers or essays. The essay is prose (rather than using the rules of poetry) which discusses some problems on the face of the author's personal point of view. That is why, articles in mass media was scattered technical data, but more towards casual exposure and it's purely a personal opinion of the author after reading the other opinions of so many works that have been read. Well, how to begin? There are some simple tips to try:
Here is the Best Article Writing Techniques in the World

Here is the Best Article Writing Techniques in the World

Choosing a topic
Choosing a topic is not all that difficult. Only, for beginning writers choose topics as dire as to make the title or content of writing. In fact, the theme or topic that can be lifted into writing so much and failure by us easily. Try to find close to us. Ask to all of your friends, eavesdrop from here and there. Or you can also read the papers this morning, looking for interesting news. Once you can, you can rewrite your point of view. After reading the news, from the facts and directions to where you can make with re-development as you like, in your own way. Think of it like you as a journalist who investigated the case. Wrote as an exercise right? Try it!
However, there are several things to consider in choosing a topic:
  1. Find which is becoming a trend.
  2. Or we can also create a trend.
  3. Select the target is close to most of our readers.
  4. Avoid topics that are not under our control or cause unnecessary polemic.
  5. Make a habit of following the events of a growing practice for writing materials.
Outlining
It's good indeed outlining. The term is, you need to make the outline. The reason, the outline is useful to limit what should we write. Like Farmer who will be working on the fields, he must determine the boundaries his field.
By creating an outline, we will be easy to determine the intent and direction of writing. In fact we can also save money with the words, including good at choosing the right vocabulary for our writing groove. Some guidelines for outlining:
  1. Present the facts surrounding the theme of which will be discussed.
  2. Perform an assessment of the facts.
  3. Collect materials supporting our argument.
  4. Conclusion.
Saving vocabulary
To be a writer, so-so we try to save vocabulary. You have to remember at least five words per day. So in a month we've got savings vocabulary of about 150 pieces. Many do not you? Vocabulary is enough to polish writing that we make. Therefore, writing is a skill to process data in a series of words. Like we want to build a house, brick ready, already a lot of cement and sand, stones for the foundation already piling up. Likewise with wood, bamboo, paint, ceramics and tiles, until the trinkets such as nails and all electrical installations already complete.

Make the title interesting
Readers will be attracted to read an article, if the title is also interesting. Think of it as a teaser headline. That is why, arguably making the title to 'skill' special. But do not be surprised once, we can learn to make it. Just need a little time and work hard and work smart to keep practicing. Sure can deh.
As an initial exercise, try you often read the writings of others. Consider the titles of his writings. The more you read the title of these writings, the more honed your imagination to create an interesting title of your own creations. Frankly I dig a lot of ideas to make the titles of these magazines (besides many of the books and other magazines).
The title is interesting, not just making people curious to read your writing, but also demonstrate your ability to process words.

Be sure to make subtitle
Subtitled so help us to classify and restrict the discussion in a paper type articles and news. The reader is also made easy to read writing groove that we bundle. So they continue to survive to keep our writing until the end. They will also be very helpful to understand what we write. That is why, the sub-title has become so important in a post.
Subtitle in a post, also serves to eliminate boredom in reading. We are also so there's a new breath to refresh your writing that we will create. So, practice dividing grooves with a series of core without cutting our writing. That is why, to make a subtitle is the most effective solution to share the groove.

Lead tempting
Lead, aka the terrace is a written news release that became an important point for readers. Lead an interesting, probably will stimulate the reader to continue reading the content of news or articles that we make. If the lead is less interesting, the reader will say "yours respectfully" only. They feel pretty reading limited to title, or a sentence or paragraph that is not interesting in front of it. So, need attention also to writings that we make can tempt the reader to continue reading. Arguably besides the title, is a hawker who leads 'mandatory' captivate readers. That is why, leads become so important, though not essential, of course.

Director               : Romans Polanski
The movie was begun with a glance of life of the ghostwriter played by Ewan Macgregor. One day, he got the task of writing a biography of former British Prime Minister Adam Lang (Pierce Brosnan).

Moreover, it is seemed clear that there is a possibility the former ghost writer was murdered and died. Adam Lang himself may be a CIA spy while he served as Prime Minister of Britain.

Ghostwriter Review

THE GHOST WRITER Movie is an evidence of director Roman Polanski's skill to mix the stories and scenes into a single unit of a suspenseful spectacle. There is no element of surprise but it does not really matter if the arrangement is as good as this story line. Good again, there is no impression of 'compression' which usually arise when a film adapted from the novel. There is a little awkwardness, but it's not up to making the unity of this story so scattered. Formation of character is also good and was not separated from the foresight of its supporting actors and actresses in utilizing the space provided script. At first the story and scene may come up little bit bored. Over all, this movie may be good for the fans of suspectful movie with slow plot.

Don't Publish Your Book, Before you know about Self Publishing

Don't Publish Your Book, Before you know about Self Publishing

For those who like to write and pour the contents of his mind, or pour brilliant ideas into a book. Self Publishing is one of the fast lane to make it happen. No need to bother looking for a publisher. Self Pubslihing can be used as a starting or beginning, if our capital is not too large, we can print the results of our writing the book in just a few copies only, the term still cool limited edition. Self-publishing is the publication of any book or other media by the author of the work, without the involvement of an established third-party publisher. It is generally entirely done at the expense of the author. (source).  

Self-publishing is when an author decides to self-publish his manuscript (even edit and layout the book), then use the services of publishing with full control as a client, and negotiate directly with the printing. He was in full control all the processes of publishing, printing, and marketing. He invested time and money to obtain greater rewards than publishing through regular issuance of the conventional pathway. Quoting again from Dan Poynter an article in the preface of the book 'Shum': "Self-publishing is good business. Writing a book is a creative work; sell books is a business. Some people can do both while others are more creative in business. You should ask if you want to become a publisher. If you invest the money in your script, you can make more than what you would get from a publisher; nearly 40% of the gross price. Why would receive 6 percent to 10 percent of the royalties when you can receive more? Why share the profits?" 

Self Publishing can be a one of a fairly lucrative business area, but also still have to make estimates of mature, so we do not lose. Been invested to produce its own, continued to be sold are confused about where, not thrown where? One more thing that must be considered and this is very important, namely to avoid borrowing money to finance the manufacture or print our books.
Don't Publish Your Book, Before you know about Self Publishing

Don't Publish Your Book, Before you know about Self Publishing


Here are a few things to note before we begin publishing books on Self Publishing:
  1. Work equipment - In this case the working equipment has a very important role. For example, a set of computer / PC / Laptop, Printer, Scanner and Digital Camera. 
  2. Making analysis of manuscripts - Who are the target readers for our books? If Book of issue we have a chance go to the school, community, or professional associations. By making this analysis, we can also do Direct Selling our book directly with them. Perform analysis of the books that we will produce? How many competitors who have made a similar book with our book? If necessary we can learn anything they've adopted in the book. Not plagiarized, but how do we book that will provide more complete information from books that have been there before. 
  3. Making Estimates - In any case it is necessary to make estimates. How much will we spend capital to finance the printing and book production. Where we have to buy the paper, where we have to print it, making covers, edit our writing. If you need to invite people who are competent in this field, such as a newspaper editor or editors, graphic design to make the cover of our book that looks interesting. Recap of the costs for all these needs, and make estimates sales targets that we publish books. How much money we spend on promotion? Taking care of our ISBN numbers for books, and so on. Estimates made in its implementation possible so we was really find many obstacles. 
  4. Internet Access - Self Publishing in the use of Internet access is a mandatory requirement for a self pubsliher. Opening and establish communication, promotion, looking for distributors, and make market analysis and development books that we have made over the internet in an online book store or make your own website about the books that we have created. This is one of the best ways for the self pubsliher. 
  5. Administration - Prepare some form of report or data file on the computer for control, monitoring and makes marketing reports, financial statements and the projections match loss, balance sheet and cash flow we are publishing a book. 
  6. Promotion Concept - Creating a promotional plan for the book that we publish. Create a draft campaign for example, advertising in newspapers, radio and other media. We can also make the concept of barter promo or partner, in relation to this case that the media can promote our books. Such as radios, or community / professional association that supports the publication of our book. Active in various events and sponsor events that are correlated with our publications. 
  7. Disribution - Creating a design or concept of distribution. There are two ways, first with Direct Selling. The second through third-party services that distributors who help us in terms of distributing publications. Determine the areas according to some point you have high market potential.

    Three Ways to Publish a Book

    Three Ways to Publish a Book

    I still often find a friend of mine who do not know how to publish a book. Moreover, in the past two years I saw a new development in our publishing world. More and more writers who publish books on self publishing. Meanwhile, Publishing Services began to mushrooms, making the book publishing business is becoming increasingly easy. As the title of this article, I will explain three ways that can be publish your book.
    Three Ways to Publish a Book

    Three Ways to Publish a Book

    Method I: Offering a Script to a Publisher
    This is the most conventional way, the most common, and most preferred by the writers since time immemorial. You've got a script, and then offered to a particular publisher, and then they publish it (if it is considered feasible forthcoming).
    Advantages Method I:
    1. No hassle. As writers, we just sent the manuscript to publishers. After that, we just wait. When our manuscript published as feasible, then the affairs of editing, design, cover creation, printing, etc. distribution handled directly by the publisher. For marketing/promotions, publishers usually also deal with, but the author is expected to also actively promoted. After the book was published, the authors typically receive royalties of 6 to 12 percent of the selling price of the book (but there is also a true sale system, where the author sells the book value of, then the publisher pays only once before). Our job as a writer only to send the script, then wait for his book, and then receive royalties (numbering based on sales). If you want your book sold well, then you also can actively and aggressively promote it.
    2. No need of capital. You do not need to spend a special fund for the printing of books (which number could be millions). Everything is borne by the issuer. Even if there are costs that you should remove it, most only cost printed your manuscripts, postage manuscripts, etc., that are still classified as "small change".
    3. Get passive income. Periodically, the authors will receive royalties on sales of his book submissions. For example three months, four months, or six months. So just imagine: You've no need to take care of books already published, but royalties will continue to arrive during the book sales are still there. Even if you've died, royalties could be passed on to families.
    4. Support publishers. When you publish a book on the big publishers, they usually already have a strong distribution network, printing the result quality, good marketing system, and so on. Things like this must be very lucrative for writers.
    5. The existence of quality control. Publishers usually have a standard of quality raw manuscript, the manuscript has a strict system of selection, have a professional design team, and so on. Therefore, the quality of the books they published were usually more secure. Your script is probably mediocre, the publishers can be transformed into an extraordinary book.

    Weaknesses Method I:
    1. The possibility of rejected manuscripts. Since publishers already have strict criteria in publishing the book, and the large number of manuscripts that come in, then of course, not all incoming manuscripts to be published. Therefore, if you take the way I was, mentally prepare you if the rejection of the manuscript to come.
    2. Relatively long waiting period. Since you send a manuscript to no news about whether or not the manuscript away, it takes the fastest time of one month (depending on the number of queues at the publisher the manuscript). And when your manuscript has been published was declared eligible, you still have to wait about 3 months (even more) until the book could actually rise.
    3. The result is often not as expected. Since the publication of your book is done by others, of course the result can not be 100% fit your expectations. Maybe the editing to make you upset, cover does not fit your tastes, and still a lot of "unexpected problems" that may arise.
    4. Less Income. Indeed the amount of royalties can vary, depending on many things. But in general is 10%. Say your book selling price of Rp 30,000. Then you just get a royalty of Rp. 3,000 for single copies of the book were sold. Small, is not it?

    Method II: Self Publishing
    In this second way (the so-called self publishing), the authors do not offer the manuscript to any publisher, but the writer is acting as a publisher. Therefore, all matters relating to the publication of books (ranging from writing, editing, design, cover creation, provision of printing costs and then take care of printing, distribution, marketing, etc.), are handled entirely by you as a writer.
    Advantages Method II:
    1. Freedom from rejection of the manuscript. You are the author and publisher. You are free to publish whatever you want at will, any way you want, as freely whatever you want.
    2. Free queue. Since you yourself are taking care of everything, then the long process of publishing a book or not depends on your own efforts. Want a quick or long, all depending on you. If you print on a particular printing job and it turns out they are old, then you can easily move to another printer.
    3. The result can be 100% fit. His name is also self-publishing. It's all up to you.You are free to create a concept, format and form of the book that really fit.
    4. Greater income. Since you own so his publisher, then there is no royalty terms. There is profit from the sale of books. The amount of profit is of course far greater than the amount of royalties from the publisher.

    Weaknesses Method II:
    1. Rumble hassle. Because all affairs should be handled in-house, then of course you should be prepared for all the trouble. In fact, you are also expected to already understand the ins and outs of book publishing world. If not, then you probably will find many obstacles that interfere - even confusion and distress - the publishing process.
    2. Must have the capital. Of all components of the cost of book publishing, printing costs, including the amount at most, which is about 90 percent. The amount of the printing costs of course depend on many things. But as a general overview, you may have to provide funding of about $ 2 million to tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars. If you do not have capital, surely this would be a problem in itself.
    3. Quality Control is often unguarded. Because the authors are free to issue whatever books he wanted at will, all up to him, then the quality is often a problem in itself. Many self publishing books that are terrible in terms of quality.Even as the writers do not understand science of marketing and promotion, sales of his book was muddy on the market. Most writers who resort to self publishing was just thinking "I published an important book." This is a very alarming phenomenon in the world of self publishing.

    Method III: Hire a Publishing Services
    Above you can listen to three main weaknesses are quite disturbing when you choose the method II. The good news, now present a number of Publishing Service is ready to help you publish the book in a way that is much easier.
    In general, the publishing service can be defined as services that will help you self publish a book publishing. They can overcome some weaknesses in the method II:
    1. Rumble hassle. The publishing service providers can help you take care of editing, book design and cover, printing, distribution, marketing, and so on. In essence, in terms of convenience, one might say almost as easy a way I.
    2. Must have the capital. In this service publishing services, you usually can choose the package that fits your budget publication. There was even a free.
    3. Quality control? The publisher service does not usually take part of your script to handle quality control. Even if part handle, usually they do a custom the author's alone. Rough language, no money no work. You want to be helped to the affairs of editing, design, manufacture cover and so on, all existing tariffs

      Ghostwriter’s definitions

      Ghostwriter’s definition from some points of view: Here they are some definitions about ghostwriter that you should know:
      1. A ghostwriter is a professional writer who is paid to write books, articles, stories, reports, or other texts that are officially credited to another person. Celebrities, executives, and political leaders often hire ghostwriters to draft or edit autobiographies, magazine articles, or other written material. In music, ghostwriters are used in film score composition, as well as for writing songs and lyrics for popular music genres.Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostwriter.
      1. A ghostwriter is a writer who writes on an assigned topic under someone else's name, with their consent. They often write books completely from scratch but sometimes their work involves rewriting or polishing an existing work.Most books by famous personalities are actually written by ghostwriters. When you see an autobiography or memoir from a politician, businessperson, or celebrity, chances are that it has been written by a ghostwriter. Taken from http://www.worldwidefreelance.com/freelance-writing/ghostwriting/28-what-is-a-ghostwriter
      2. Ghostwriting is the act of writing books or other pieces in which another "author" receives full credit (the "official" author gets the byline). Often, the official author is a celebrity, politician, or other figure that can sell books, but cannot necessarily write books. Another common occurrence is when the book is one in a branded series. Ghostwriting pay is medium to high in the freelance writing world, and many writers specialize specifically in this discipline. Taken from http://freelancewrite.about.com/od/glossary/g/gw.htm
      3. A ghost writer is someone who writes a book or articles for someone else. The ghost writer is paid a sum of money to write the material needed and hand it over to the payee. The person who has paid for the work will then assign his name or someone else’s name to claim the work as his own. Taken from http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-ghost-writer.htm
