..turns out literature has figurative devices that plug into the reader’s brain, with some one-way connections while others need a bit of a short circuit to jumpstart the reader’s mind. Here in the poetic devices list, you are going to find out just how many connections one can make to directly reach their reader…
Have you ever heard the saying; all poets are writers but not all writers are poets? This is why questions around this topic have been so popular that I have decided to address it in how not to confuse an author/writer with a poet.
An author/writer is a creator of one or several pieces of work; literary composition while a poet writes prose artfully.
Oh, yes, I can tell a person a lot of stories about starting a career in writing. I mean even dating coaches get jealous because writers are even more knowledgeable about rejection. Hey but guess what, we’re not talking about that today though. Today we’re talking about what no writer has ever told you when writing your non-fiction novel, memoir or short piece of non-fiction content.
But then again, nothing really mattered to Freddy Mercury or Farouk Balsara in the end … just like COVID it doesn’t distinguish itself from race, being wealthy, poor, … whatever… we just move on and another one bites the dust…
Why did Freddy Mercury change his name? Why do we have the term BAME? I mean let’s face it, in today’s world there is more diversity than back then, I really do not know of any musician who made it on his/her own being the “A” in BAME, or as big as Queen…
If a person chooses to blog, write a self-help book, a novel or a children’s book, whatever the piece of content may be, choosing a narrative point of view is the question that comes up before typing the first sentence.

In this writer’s writing lessons for writers, I will be bringing in some clarity around your considerations, depending on what you are choosing to write.
On the main reason why behind writing the story or article, I’d say don’t follow the crowd on the idea you have or if you feel phased about it. These ideas and thoughts have come to you for reasons unclear in the beginning, perhaps, and if they have been a nag then this is a very clear sign to continue in this direction. As you continue taking one step at a time in the direction of your thoughts and ideas things will become clear.
When we really get rid of the shit, you know that petty shit that keeps us in low vibrational states, we stop playing with the A-hole or the ego, and that’s when we really get to the point of what really matters. The alignment of self to face the self, and I guess when that happens, we sit down and really look at what matters. When that begins to spin, conversations happen, it is when the genius awakens, it is when we really don’t play the game with fear or doubt, we just go, go all in and that’s when the magic happens, almost like the universe aligns itself to the genius.

Now, to write this article, I have undergone, (otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to mentor this person) some years of negative experiences. I could say that these negative experiences feel very negative especially when you transcend from one culture (a born culture) with some good and not-so-great practices to another distinct culture with some good and not-so-great practices.
