Profile Naami began writing poetry and short stories at the age of 15. Some of these poems later became part of a self published work titled ‘’Dear Nay: a book of poems and excerpts of life’’ that she shared with the world through Amazon in 2019. Naami first shared her poetry in spoken word form in 2013 at a local church in Los Angeles, and has gone on to work with FACT Liverpool, Rooted magazine and perform for Blackfest, Outspoken poetry, A lovely word and the poetry place in Manchester. Naami’s poetry is multifaceted, covering Love and heartbreak, Faith and spirituality, trauma, mental health, self love and societal issues. Naami’s purpose in sharing her poetry with the World is with the hopes that it will touch the hearts of those who can relate, shed light on the darkness that we sometimes face, and most importantly to glorify truth by allowing God to shine through. Interview Where did your love of creativity start, was it general or your art medium specifically? •⁠ ⁠I remember being around 15yrs old when I began to feel a spark of creativity within me start to flourish. I was an illegal immigrant in the United States at the time, and being that I had just realised this about myself, it caused me some internal challenges as a teenager. As a good student in English/language arts and spelling, I felt drawn to writing as a way to express myself. I began writing short stories with a bit of a personal twist and later developed into more poetry based writing. When did you have the “ i have a talent moment”? •⁠ ⁠To be honest, I’m not sure if I ever really felt this way about myself. Writing was more of sort of an outlet for me. Then I worked in entertainment from the age of 18 to my late twenties (modeling and acting) and that’s where I generally drew confidence from regarding my creative side. It wasn’t really until around 2020 when I started really feeling comfortable sharing and performing my poetry as spoken word. Before then I was much more self conscious about it and felt it should be kept private, especially with a lot of my poetry being so personal in terms of what I was writing about. I suppose when I started sharing it a couple of years ago, and receiving feedback I felt as if it was more necessary to be more open to sharing. over the last couple of years my poetry has shifted a lot in alignment with my journey to a stronger religious faith and in that process, I’ve realised that the words that generally come to me are more than what I can personally comprehend. So although now I have come to realise that I have a gift, it’s not mine to claim if that makes sense. it comes from something higher and more powerful than myself. “What does spiritually affect your writing?” •⁠ ⁠My writing over the last 3 and a half years has had more of a spiritual/religious element to it as it has evolved with my own personal evolution. My connection to God I feel is where the initial inspiration of my writing stems from today, and although that is very much not the norm in modern secular society, I very much am glad for my writing to represent something that I feel is bigger and much more important than myself and my own selfish desires. I tend to be inspired to write about societal issues that I observe on a daily basis, and somewhat controversial topics that are often uncomfortable for me to even address. However, it’s often those things that are hard to say - that perhaps need to be said more. “Did religion always follow your work?” •⁠ ⁠No, not at all! My writing was initially more subject to societal norms. I wrote about highly emotive topics, even delved into mental health and other struggles throughout life, whether that be love, friendships, family problems and even trauma. It is only in the last couple of years, as I have grown and began to see a bit more of the bigger picture - I have put less focus on me and my feelings. I have realised there are bigger fish to fry. “Is there any writers who you would say embody the introspective nature of poetry?” •⁠ ⁠Oh wow, that’s a tough question I mean…there’s so many talented writers out there! I don’t personally have what you’d call favourites these days, though back in the day I’d say I was quite inspired by Tupac Shakur and Jhene Aiko. I do tend to veer more towards poetry that has a message, whether that be spiritual or societal or personal. I do enjoy watching performers who know how to captivate a crowd with their words, however I have yet to find many poets in a spiritual/religious genre that I can look up to. I’m sure there are some out there! I just have yet to find them. “When did your hobby become a passion; then a job?” •⁠ ⁠I don’t think my hobby ever became a job really. I’d say it became a passion around the age of 18 for me, as that’s when I started writing more and putting together bits that were later published as my first book. Around 5 years ago is when I first started receiving paid poetry gigs, and although it’s wonderful to be paid to do what you love - that’s something that happens on a very rare occasion for me. So it’s definitely not something I could survive on as a job. Though I’ve found my niche, I have yet to find the right scene or crowd for my kind of work. What feedback will you give your younger self? •⁠ ⁠My younger self was very emotion based and that caused a lot of grief and despair in my life. I would tell my younger self to hold tight to the faith that she doesn’t have to figure it all out on her own. she has a loving Father God who can and will hold her hand throughout every trial and burden that she may bare. and no matter how dark things may become, there is always light at the end of the tunnel as long as she places her anxieties in her creators hands and trusts that he knows what’s best, but at the same time recognising that everything in this material world is passing and temporary. so try not to be so attached!

Dungeons and dragons celebrated its 50th anniversary last year and has become something of a global phenomenon. Buried within this game are some key lessons to be learned with regards to storytelling. So, here are a few insights from someone who has been running dungeons and dragons sessions for a few years.   For those who may not be aware of exactly what it is, dungeons and dragons (also known as D&D), is a tabletop role playing game, where one person – known as the Dungeon Master or“DM” – plans out a world and an overarching plot with non-playable characters (NPCs), and villains. The players create their characters from a variety of races, classes, and backgrounds, and determine their characters actions as the DM lays out the events of the world surrounding them. As someone who has been playing D&D for a few years now, and acting as a DM for just as long, I have found that the experience can help develop narratives, evolve fictional worlds, and produce complex and well-rounded characters. So if you’re looking for inspiration, it can be a gold mine.   The structure of dungeons and dragons creates a perfect environment for collaborative storytelling, with role play, improvisation, and an element of randomisation as outcomes are often determined by dice rolls. As player characters attempt to achieve their goals, there is no guarantee that they will succeed, and unless the story is well told, this can frustrate the players. As such it is important to ensure that any failure of a character is either explained by the situation or creates an opportunity for the character to learn a lesson and develop.     The collaborative nature of D&D makes it essentially a continuous improv session, where nobody really knows where the story will go, and it is the DMs job to guide it and mould it into something coherent. Players develop their characters, and whilst they may come to the table with vague ideas of who they are playing, over time they become deeply invested in that characters journey. Each game session brings new experiences for the characters, and as the players have time to reflect on how these events may affect their character in particular, characters naturally become more complex and well-rounded. Player characters are fleshed out with backstories, in-game experiences, and interactions with the world around them. Everyone playing comes to know and understand them as they would a close friend. “That’s what my character would do” is a phrase that is often thrown around in D&D as an explanation for making objectively poor choices, justified by character motivation, demonstrating perfectly how characters can get themselves into absurd situations whilst remaining true to who they are. If you are looking to write a story this can be a useful lesson to learn. Reflecting on how each character would respond or feel in each situation and recognising that some events may shift their outlook on the world. It helps to remember that your characters are malleable and that having identifiable development even to B-storylines can make them feel far more three dimensional.   Similarly, the DM finds ways to develop NPCs that capture the imagination. DMs often have to play numerous characters in every session, and whilst many of these characters may be forgettable background characters, those that the players enjoy or have some affinity with will often become recurring characters, fleshing out the world and giving the players reasons to care about the world they inhabit. This essentially boils down to brainstorming the background characters and taking steps to make them memorable. An unusual quirk, a strange way of speaking, or a particular aesthetic can make a random interaction into something that sticks in the minds of the audience, and makes the world seem more fully developed.   When it comes to world building, I began my D&D campaign by creating a very simplistic landscape and found that the finer details of the world were quickly developed as players will inevitably ask unexpected questions about how things work and it is the DMs job to find a way to answer this. Finding rational reasons to justify fun concepts is necessary to ensure that the players understand the rules of the world and allows them to come up with fun ways to interact with these systems that you may never have considered. When writing a new fictional world, thinking about the reasons why the world developed to be the way it is can create depth and feeling of the world being lived in. You don’t need to include every detail of the world in your story, but you need to understand it and how this may affect the story, and the characters.   With the recent success of Dungeons and Dragons in the media, with numerous podcasts, Critical Roles animated series “Vox Machina”, and the 2023 movie, “Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves”, it is clear that this style of storytelling is becoming increasingly popular, and perhaps some of these lessons could be the reason why.

Este artículo tiene como objetivo compartir técnicas narrativas de lucha libre que se encuentran en los clásicos literarios, no convertir a los lectores a la magia de la lucha libre profesional. Construcción de carácter Los luchadores profesionales deben construir sus historias con fuerza e impacto en poco tiempo. Por ello, cada espectáculo, entrevista y combate es una oportunidad para añadir más contexto y matices al personaje. Muchos escritores deberían considerar conectar con sus lectores como si fueran un público en vivo. Inicialmente, ¿puedes cautivarlos con tu párrafo inicial? Tras esa primera impresión, ¿cómo la apariencia de cada personaje intriga aún más al lector y lo motiva a seguir leyendo? Los personajes de lucha libre más cautivadores han evolucionado a través de sus interacciones con los fans y compañeros luchadores, ya sea en sus historias principales o con luchadores de historias anteriores. Estas interacciones dan vida a sus personajes y los integran en el mundo que los rodea. La pregunta es: ¿de qué manera interactúan tus personajes con su entorno y qué perspectivas le aporta esto al lector? ¿Qué dimensiones de su personalidad se revelan a través de estas interacciones? Esto puede ser tan sencillo como la forma en que manejan los objetos que los rodean. Desarrollo de la historia Historias de lucha libre, porque tienen el elemento de peleas guionizadas, hay momentos en los que se genera una tensión, seguida por una pelea que libera esa tensión; y luego viene otra acumulación. La lucha libre utiliza sabiamente estas dos fases de la historia. La construcción añade contexto y elementos extra para que los fans se involucren; luego, los momentos de alta tensión recompensan a los fans por su compromiso.¿Cómo puedes planificar estos momentos que compensan la tensión en tu historia? Un buen ejemplo de esto es la serie de libros Los Juegos del Hambre , que tiene una hermosa mezcla de tensión que acelera el corazón y momentos intrigantes de descanso, donde Suzanne Collins introduce elementos adicionales interesantes en la historia. Conclusión Ya seas fanático de la lucha libre o no, la lucha libre profesional puede ayudarte en tu escritura. Si esta es tu única y última exposición al mundo de la lucha, entonces gracias por leer mi charla TED escrita, y espero que la hayas disfrutado.Si quieres aprender más sobre el mundo de los profesionales, entonces, en la muy parcial opinión de este escritor, deberías hacerlo.Les deseo a todos un maravilloso día, tarde o noche, dependiendo de cuándo estén leyendo esto. Por último, gracias por pasar tu tiempo con nosotros.

This article aims to share wrestling storytelling techniques found in literary classics, not to convert readers to the magic of professional wrestling. Character building Professional wrestlers have to establish their stories with strength and impact in a short amount of time. From that, every show, interview, and match is an opportunity to add more context and layers to the character. Many writers should consider engaging their readers as if they were a live audience. Initially, can you captivate them with your opening paragraph? Following that first impression, how does each character's appearance further intrigue the reader and encourage them to continue reading? The most compelling wrestling characters have evolved through their interactions with fans and fellow wrestlers, whether in their primary storylines or with wrestlers from past storylines. These interactions bring their characters to life and integrate them into the surrounding world. The question is: in what ways do your characters engage with their surroundings, and what insights does this provide to the reader? What dimensions of their personality are revealed through these interactions? This can be as straightforward as how they handle objects around them. Story development Wrestling stories because they have the scripted fighting element, there are moments in there where they are builds up of tension, proceeded by fight that release the tension; then after another build up. Wrestling uses these two phases of the story wisely. The build-up adds context to the story and extra elements for the fans to engage with; then the high-tension moments give the fans a reward for their engagement. How can you plan these moments that pay off the tension in your story? A good example of this is the book series "The Hunger Games," which has a beautiful mixture of heart-pounding tension and intriguing moments of rest, where Suzanne Collins introduces interesting extra elements into the story. Conclusion Whether you are a wrestling fan or not, professional wrestling can help you in your writing; if this is your only and last exposure to the world of wrestling, then thank you for reading my written TED Talk, and I hope you enjoyed it. If you want to learn more about the world of professionals, then in this writer's very biased opinion, you should do so. I wish you all a wonderful day, evening, or night, depending on when you're reading this. Lastly, thank you for spending your time with us.

Suitable for all ages The core of every good story is well developed characters, an exciting character can not only engage your reader, but in some cases fuel more stories after the reader has finished. So follow us in this guide on creating your next anticipating story!  Giving your character traits Don’t let your character say something like, “My name is Marge, and I hate all things colorful like rainbows, puppies, unicorns, and glitter.” While monochrome is always a safe bet, let’s add some flair! Trust your reader, you can show your character’s traits by their actions throughout the story, the saying show doesn’t tell is a powerful weapon.  For people who are good at drawing, making illustrations of the character can make you get more ideas whether it's making it look innocent or deceiving don't be shy if you wanna add chicken wings add ‘em!   When you're trying to give your character traits, try naming them look up names and their meaning once you find one you like, or fits the character use it. A good activity for the character personality a simple list will do, we have given an example below, this is simple and effective; if you want to go further you can write how you are going   to show these personality traits in your story, it can be another character saying it, there actions or them saying it themselves.  2. Character description  When you're trying to give your description make sure its detailed. You could literally say “A tan girl with a ponytail.” And the reader can imagine hyperpigmentation girl or more things! Make sure you add thing that can make people see it clearly in their head so don’t say “A tan girl with a ponytail” say “A tan girl with deep dark green eyes pink blushy cheeks, a curly and long wide ponytail with fish, hibiscus, and cheetah print hair clips.” Or something else. 3. Story arc and planning how their personalities will change    It is not enough to show a character's personality trait, as a writer you most always ask why, because that is what your audience will be doing while they are reading your story. There is freedom in revealing this extra context about your character, it can be during a main story plot, or maybe when revealing another character, linking two characters together and making your world seem bigger.  The ways to add context to your character is only limited by your creativity and world that the characters live in.  A character is only as strong as the journey they go through, give your character personality traits that are bad and then take them through a journey of healing, or opposite, create a villain arc as the good person we started with becomes twisted as the story goes on. Unforgettable characters are not only initially captivating but also gain in intrigue as readers connect with their story, fostering either love or hatred.  4. Make your relatable  To make your character relatable, you must give them flaws, in writing there is something I call the superman paradox. Superman is awesome, is very powerful, strong and overall is the strongest character in comics. Because he’s a relatable, flawed human who triumphs over adversity—unlike Superman—Batman is more popular, in this writer's personal opinion. Powerful characters with great personalities attract readers, but relatable flaws are what keep them hooked; imperfections make characters more engaging.  Another example is seemingly flawless characters whose arrogance is their downfall; I find this ingenious blurring of strengths and weaknesses.

Apto para todas las edades La esencia de toda buena historia son los personajes bien desarrollados. Un personaje emocionante no solo puede cautivar al lector, sino que, en algunos casos, puede inspirar más historias una vez que el lector haya terminado. ¡Síguenos en esta guía para crear tu próxima historia que te hará esperar! Dando rasgos a tu personaje No dejes que tu personaje diga algo como: "Me llamo Marge y odio todo lo colorido, como los arcoíris, los cachorros, los unicornios y la purpurina". Si bien el monocromo siempre es una apuesta segura, ¡añadamos un toque de estilo! Confía en tu lector: puedes mostrar los rasgos de tu personaje con sus acciones a lo largo de la historia. El dicho "muestra pero no cuenta" es un arma poderosa. Para quienes se les da bien dibujar, hacer ilustraciones del personaje puede generar más ideas, ya sea que parezca inocente o engañoso. ¡No seas tímido, si quieres añadir alitas de pollo, añádelas! Cuando intentes darle rasgos a tu personaje, intenta nombrarlos. Busca nombres y su significado una vez que encuentres uno que te guste o que se ajuste al personaje, úsalo. Una buena actividad para la personalidad del personaje es una lista simple. A continuación, te damos un ejemplo; es simple y efectivo. Si quieres ir más allá, puedes escribir cómo vas a mostrar estos rasgos de personalidad en tu historia: puede ser otro personaje diciéndolo, sus acciones o que lo digan ellos mismos. 2. Descripción del personaje Cuando intentes dar tu descripción, asegúrate de que sea detallada. Podrías decir literalmente: "Una chica bronceada con cola de caballo". ¡Y el lector puede imaginar a una chica con hiperpigmentación o más cosas! Asegúrate de agregar algo que pueda hacer que la gente lo vea claramente en su cabeza, así que no digas "Una chica bronceada con cola de caballo", di: "Una chica bronceada con ojos verde oscuro profundo, mejillas rosadas y sonrojadas, una cola de caballo larga y ancha y rizada con pinzas para el cabello con estampados de pez, hibisco y guepardo". O algo más. 3. Arco argumental y planificación de cómo cambiarán sus personalidades No basta con mostrar el rasgo de personalidad de un personaje; como escritor, casi siempre te preguntas por qué, ya que eso es lo que hará tu audiencia mientras lee tu historia. Hay libertad para revelar este contexto adicional sobre tu personaje; puede ser durante la trama principal o al revelar a otro personaje, conectando dos personajes y haciendo que tu mundo parezca más grande. Las formas de añadir contexto a tu personaje solo están limitadas por tu creatividad y el mundo en el que vive. Un personaje es tan fuerte como el camino que recorre. Dale rasgos de personalidad negativos y luego llévalo a un camino de sanación. O, por el contrario, crea un arco argumental de villano donde la persona buena con la que comenzamos se distorsiona a medida que avanza la historia. Los personajes inolvidables no solo son cautivadores al principio, sino que también ganan en intriga a medida que los lectores conectan con su historia, fomentando el amor o el odio. 4. Haz que tu personaje sea cercano Para que tu personaje sea cercano, debes darle defectos. En la escritura existe algo que llamo la paradoja de Superman. Superman es increíble, muy poderoso, fuerte y, en general, el personaje más fuerte de los cómics. Debido a que es un ser humano cercano, con defectos, que triunfa sobre la adversidad —a diferencia de Superman—, Batman es más popular, en mi opinión. Los personajes poderosos con grandes personalidades atraen a los lectores, pero los defectos cercanos son los que los mantienen enganchados; las imperfecciones hacen a los personajes más atractivos. Otro ejemplo son los personajes aparentemente perfectos cuya arrogancia es su perdición; encuentro esta ingeniosa difuminación de fortalezas y debilidades.

Why so few teens are reading and what we can do to address this The number of teenagers reading for pleasure has plummeted in the last decade. The increasing role of social media in young people’s lives has been linked to their reduced reading. Although it’s tempting to believe these two activities are mutually exclusive, evidence shows this is false; excessive social media use significantly reduces attention spans and contributes to mental health issues like depression and anxiety (not ideal for a well-read teen). Research has shown that the lack of focus notable in today’s society is not only associated with the detrimental effect of instant media that we all consume, but also the act of allowing these media to infiltrate our daily lives. When switching from one activity to another, your brain has to reconfigure. You are not only losing the short bursts of time between reading (for example) and receiving notifications; you are losing the time it takes to refocus afterwards. In a study at the Carnegie Mellon University, 136 students took a test, some of whom had their phones on, receiving regular messages, and some of whom did not. The study revealed that those who received messages performed 20% worse, on average. The normalization of teenagers’ constant access to mobile devices, even at school, clearly severely affects the deep focus many of them need for reading. In today’s world, reading has become such an important aspect of our daily lives, but one that people can practice for hours daily without touching a book. Paul Tobin, writer, said that ‘We read and write incessantly, in text messages, tweets, blogs, Wikis, Facebook posts, news articles, comment threads, Reddit, Quora, email, dating apps, Yelp reviews, etc., etc… I would venture a guess that no period in human history has been so overwhelmingly dominated by the written word as the internet age… Reading is no longer a special activity reserved unto itself, but part of the minute-to-minute fabric of our lives.’ (This was an answer in a Quora forum, no less). Clearly, with most of the teens’ daily lives surrounded by reading, including at school, more and more teens do not look to a book to relax. Especially due to the fast paced nature of all things technology, and the instant gratification of media such as short form content, many young people forget the contrasting pleasure that is reading for fun. This means that millions of teens are missing out on reading for pleasure, developing a foundation of knowledge and perspective. Especially in a time when politicians have pointed to the decreasing importance of arts subjects as opposed to STEM ones, it is vital for young people to discover (and older people to rediscover) the value of artwork and literature. To rekindle young people’s love of reading, we must make reading feel like a choice, not an assignment. Recently, a surge in online leisure reading presents a key opportunity to reinvigorate reading engagement and highlight arts & literature’s value in today’s demanding world. Written by Ines Lappin

Introduction The sourceing of this article as a pre-teen, all information is from the perspective of a pre-teen; this is a important perspective to show as children are reading less and less, i think its important to stop this trend, thank you for my source. Find a book from a movie or series you like  Start with your favorite TV show or movie series, this is a great place to start your love of reading as you already have a love and interest in the lore, characters and are invested in the whole story. Reading additional lore and character will add extra context to your favourite shows, making your experience of it even better. The source of this read many of there favorite shows and movies, Percy Jackson being there favorite and they have read all the books, as she has read and watched both she has passionate opinions on both, reading books have given her a different perspective.  Don’t judge a book by its cover  “ you never know..you could have a book with beautiful colours with pallets, colour coordination that match and you open the book and it’s nothing you expected” This quote perfectly shows why you should never judge a book, this goes for the actual saying and literally. Ask your school librarian for recommendation  Usually most people start with favorites such as Harry Potter, when you finished reaching out to a librarian for recommendations on new books to explore, as there may be more books based or influenced by a book you have read before. Make time to read  You could have a complete full schedule, full of school and after school Clubs, in school you could have a full schedule, some things you can put aside, you don’t want your parents telling you off for reading late at night, when you have school the next day. Further more, reading earlier means you have more time to read and enjoy the book you are reading at your own pace. Final words from co-author  “ I like to read big books, you should try them to”

It is often, what is the difference between a good writer and a great writer, the answer is clear style, style makes your writing engaging, easy to read and most importantly makes you stand out from other writers. It's important to note that not all formats of writing suites full individual creativity, as article writers and journalism focus more on the facts of the topic, leaving little in style a writer can still add their subtle mannerisms in the text; whilst creative writers like poets and novelists can create their world; but no matter who you are, you can impart your style in any formate of writing and this article will go through ways to so.  Overthinking  Many new writers feel like they must be perfect, leading to writers' block and may lead to loss of interest in the writing process, to help with that writer is always important to write with the freedom, to help with reading and writing as much as possible, and do so with little expectation of how it must be, focus on exploring new ideas, techniques and new ways for formatting your work. As you progress and find that you start earning an income from your writing, it's still important to find time to write with no expectations, one or two hours a week writing to improve your skills and refine your style. This leads to the second point, patience, developing your style is an easy process, but it's a long process, as it's an important quality for all writers to have it's important to take the time to invest in it. I often think about how children get into writing, they read all their favourite authors or writers and they take their time to take parts of their style in their work, they do so every day, writing or reading every day; if done in the spirit of enjoyment and not overthinking, it becomes the easiest process in the world. Lastly, variety of influences; most writers follow and are inspired by authors and writers that they like, for clear reasons, but I believe there is power in reading writers' work you do not like and ask yourself why don’t like them, and even though I don't like them, is their something in their work that I like.  Doing this means you're a writer with a wide library of knowledge to use when writing and giving style more complexity. In conclusion, developing your style is a very easy process, it takes time and patience; when done is what differentiates a good writer from a great writer.

It is easy to think that all writers are experts at grammar and spelling. That's a perception that can cause many aspiring writers to not pursue a career as a writer. Speaking as someone who is suspected of having dyslexia, I say that is not the case as I have been able to publish books and achieve my writing goals, but it does take more work compared to others. Dyslexia should never be a barrier for people with the creativity and passion to get their stories out. In this article, we will cover two areas: how to manage dyslexia as a writer and how to play with language and use it as a character within your work. Strategies for handling dyslexia as a writer: There is a multitude of software that can be used to assist people with dyslexia to express themselves best. It is important to note that all services or software do not sponsor this article, but they will never say no. Tools like Grammarly, ProWritingAid, and more are all effective tools in correcting grammar and producing work that is clear and easy to understand to readers. As you read this article, it was refined using Grammarly and ProWritingAid. These A.I. tools are easy to use and, most importantly, provide people with dyslexia the freedom to write with full creativity, knowing that they can later address grammar and spelling errors. A writer once said, "Your readers will only see the finished work; the process and the journey to the finished piece should never be a hurdle for writers." Now that there are so many tools to make the writing process easier, people with dyslexia can focus on making the best-finished product. To children or teenagers, please do not compare yourself to anyone. Your process is yours to own and claim proudly, and always remember the quote above: your finished product is what matters.  Exploring the nuances of language: When stepping back, grammar and linguistics are strange things. It can be easily thought that language and its rules are constant, but in reality, language changes constantly through technology, culture, and the passage of time. I firmly believe that adopting a regional grammar is a great way of characterizing the world that you are creating, whether that be a city or, in extension, adding more context into the way your characters speak, their actions, and motives. A writer who knows linguistic rules in a very deep way, and knows how to break them to add to the lore and world, takes bravery to do so as it may mean that your book may take longer to be picked up by a publisher or agent, but in the long run, it means your work will live longer in the memory of the readers that get their hands on your book. I do this in my books, taking my personal bias to one side. An author who does this well is Cormac McCarthy; in his book The Road, a Dystopian World, his writing style feels cold, foreign, and dystopian, which paints his world bland. This book is a great example of intentionally breaking the rules to add context and depth to a story through the structure and writing style. Doing this is great for novelists and poets. Speaking as a poet myself, we have the freedom to create our world without restrictions because the format is the author sharing their world and perspective with the reader. If your writing is more factual, such as journalism and column writing, it's important to stay close to the key messages you want to express to your audience. These formats require you as a writer to shine a spotlight into the real world. If you have dyslexia, develop your method for creating excellent pieces. At the end of the day, your reader sees the result, not the process it took to get there. In conclusion, if your writing format is more creative, like that of a novelist or poet, then use language to create your world and vision. This may mean breaking the rules. The best writers can use the unspoken structure and their writing style to add context and depth to the world they are building.

The spoken word and literature are meant to be the doorway to the minds of the writer, the key that opens a window to the wants and needs of whoever holds the pen. In a multicultural Europe, historical factors such as the effects of colonialism, immigration, and more, lead to many people living in communities where values may clash, causing conflict. This is evident in the riots that occurred in England. In this world, writing can bridge connecting many cultures many cultures. Firstly, let us debunk the myth that spoken word or writing is complex. In reality, we simplify writing as it is just an extension to you. Everyone has their own writing style, which is simply an extension of themselves. Secondly, I will present a writing exercise called cooperative where groups of three and above select a topic, such as “What does it mean to belong in a community? All individuals within the group will be allotted 10 minutes to compose on this subject, either in the style of poetry or as an essay. Then, each member of the group will read all the pieces. After this, a collective piece of writing will have to be written, combining all the aspects of the individual articles. In having everyone combine perspectives into one writing, you create moments where people have to listen, compromise, negotiate and be sympathetic to the thoughts and views of people in the group.  This activity is perfect for team building, family game nights, and as a fun party game.
