Criticism is an inevitable outcome of writing. I have never known a single person who made even the pretense of writing without holding strong opinions on the work of others, whether those opinions were positive or negative. This can be as simple as the person who credits their favorite author with inspiring them to get started in the first place, or as complicated as someone who has a top ten list of favorites and a bottom ten list of least favorites, al...

Creativity is a gift by nature. But there is a way that can help you compete the real talent and that way is 'determination'. If you don't possess an innate tendency to write, there is nothing to worry about. You only have to be opinionated and that is it. Then, determination can take you to the top. Read loads of stuff that interests you and then begin attaching your own ideas to it. This will boost up your imagination that almost everyone posse... Continue reading ...

“From when I first read books I knew I wanted to be a writer. My 12 year old self-wrote a story about a boy who had a secret pet Pacman who would constantly get him in trouble and then save the day, but I did not bring it to an end.
A few years later I tried to write a mystery, but that didn't pan out. At 18, I co wrote a play that was produced three night's running in my local town hall. In university I edited the arts pages of the student newspaper and c... Continue reading ...

Digital printing is just a fancy word to say that it's printing through a “digital” technology instead of a “mechanical” technology such as it was done in the past. The difference between these two is very important. Let's say for example that you want to print a one page text through a mechanic printing (the old way of printing), you need to have the original of that paper physically (in your hands). Then, by applying some kind of a physical pressure over your paper (letterpres... Continue reading ...

Nowadays, the definition of literature is used to express any text that we give an aesthetics value to it an... Continue reading ...
