Introducing....

Introducing Writer's Smock, a unique blog that covers all-things writing, human and supernatural. Our aim is simple: like all writers, we strive to be the best we can at all times, whether it be picking the write word (did YOU catch that?), or the best way to transition to the next paragraph, or the best way improve writing productivity. Easier said than done - authors, poets, screenplay writers, anyone that has ever held pen to paper, or finger to keyboard can relate in the painstaking process necessary to make art through arranging words.

Contributors come from all different strokes of pen. We have strength in diversity with two professional writers, (one being a teacher on the side, the other a personal trainer respectively) a novice who birthed prose from a the loss of an iPod, and another who's been keeping a diary for over two decades and boasts fortifying his diction through comic books.

Our Goals?

Humanize the act of writing - Readers only see the aesthetically pleasing polished piece, where the writer places no emphasis on the process. The nitty-gritty is not only overlooked, but seldom discussed. That's where we come in - to document the mundane, and report the ugly truth.

Sharing the ever-evolving 21st Century Writing Landscape - Typing on a Tablet device? Writing with a digital pen? Touching on topics that didn't exist last year? We'll highlight our findings, successes, and blunders in a not-so-foreseeable future kind of world.

Share our Success - The contributors here at Writer's Smock are successful in their own right - but nowhere near where we want to be. Learn about our personal projects, our objectives, and opinions as we strive to be better writers, and more importantly, better citizens of the world.

OUR FORMAT:

Count on us to post consistently on business days, Monday through Friday. This will include:

Messy Monday – The smock’s attempt to document and clean up the mess we made from our weekly Sunday meetings – that is, a discussion on our projects and progress; our writer’s block and breakthroughs; or our suckiness or awesomeness – all in the vain of being better writers.

Tackling Tuesday – Join Ralph and Riva as they flow through their days as writers that strive to take their craft to the next level.

Wednesday Writing with Jeff – The smock’s very own poet will give you his latest take on his evolution as a writer.

Theirry on Thursday – Our resident comic book freak gives you an update on his learning curve and transition from being a trapped-in-the-journal personal writer, to his words being consumed in the public domain – among other scribbles.

Freedom Writing Friday – A smock slam of our rants and raves of the week that was.

*Disclaimer – The smock may smatter around different topics on any given day. Smocker’s may also shift when they contribute. Be forewarned: we’re a mess! But at least we’ll be consistent.

In any event, we hope you enjoy!

Sincerely,

Ralph, numero uno mother-smocker.
