Why do you write? What is your world view? What are your major themes? What is you main subject matter? What is your style?
These are some of the questions a writer can explore to get answers that may provide a river of creativity. The Old Soldier has asked himself these questions and this questioning process has made him a more self-aware artist who wants to continue to learn more about the craft of writing.
The answers to these questions can help a writer find what he or she truly wants to write about, why write about it and even how to write about it. That’s huge.

The Craft Of Writing, The Power Of Hope
Woman As Art
Writing by its nature is an act of hope. We writers reach out with our words in the hope that someone will read them; but writing is also a craft that demands perseverance and skill.
A writer must learn things like clarity, diction, grammar, punctuation, spelling, syntax and more before he or she can entice a reader to read more than just the first few sentences of, let’s say, a short story.
So, if you are a writer be sure to study your craft. Be sure to read the masters; and don’t lose hope.
Here’s something that will give you hope. This magazine is a paying market. At the top of the page are three tabs. Anything Goes is for non-fiction. Send Poetry is for poems and Submissions is for flash fiction. Submissions are open for September.
