The Fart Of Fiction No. 14

Sometimes hearing podcasts of ideas transformed into words can be great. Nobody wants to listen to somebody preaching about the craft of fiction. Everyone has a story, but who goes the extra mile?

When writing novels, short stories or poetry, have the patience, take the time for editing. To make your story stand out, have a social media platform. Experiment, invent, take risks, take your idea to the next level. Get readers familiar with your work, but don't give away all the secrets.

Submit short fiction and poetry to journals and magazines. Poetry Is Dead might be a cool home for edited poetry, but you should make time in your schedule for submissions.

However, small journals and magazines get swallowed up by the bigger ones. Make sure to send to reliable sources. Research a small town before moving out of the big city.
