The Fourth of July and Three Sure-Fire Hints to Solidify Your Writing Independence
 by: Beth Rodgers




Have you ever considered the idea that the Fourth of July is a writing holiday? Not only did we gain our independence on that illustrious day, but we cemented the idea that writing is a national pastime – something we enjoy doing and something that allowed us to gain that independence we fought long and hard to win. Thomas Jefferson, at a mere thirty-three years of age, authored the Declaration of Independence. He crafted an engaging document that is still quoted to this day. Read on to find three sure-fire hints to solidify your own writing independence as we near this exciting, inspirational holiday:


Hint #1: Create fireworks in your writing. When you watch fireworks go off in the sky, there are a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes. Remember that your audience may differ depending on the type of writing you are doing. Engage your audience with the style that fits their personality, and find a way to shape your writing into something they will love reading. Create vivid imagery and go off of your instincts, because you are the one who knows your readership best. You are the one who is going to make it compelling, exciting, and emotional for your readers as they try to find out more about you, your writing style, and the characters that are making up the magical world that you are creating for them.


Hint #2: Read to gain your writing independence. It may sound ironic, but you don’t have to have a unique idea to write a superbly interesting, exciting story. Everyone, no matter how great their writing is, has gained at least a smidgen of their ideas from another source. Read books that discuss how to write in your particular genre. Find authors that complement your style and see just what it is they do that you have not yet perfected in your own writing. There is always room for improvement. You just have to find what exactly needs improving. Once you do, you’ll thank these other authors and ideas that have provided you with much-needed details and writing energy.


Hint #3: Take liberties with your writing. See it for all that it is and more. Don’t worry about whether or not it makes perfect sense at first. Just keep writing. Keep brainstorming. It might be scary at first to dive so far in and not know what comes next and how it will come to be. However, that is what great writing is all about. So, instill in yourself a sense of identity and hope. Shape your writing into something amazing and dynamic for readers. Don’t be scared of who you can be or what you can do. Just be who you are and do what you do, and your writing will prosper.
