Why am I not featured.... Good question.
The answer is... I passed on the offer ages ago.
Why? The way I see it is like this.... I hope a good few people read this and understand it.
As a host of T.S.C. I'm one of the pack Alphas. It's up to us hosts to drive our group/pack forwards in not only creativity but also moral and spreading out the wings of each member. Writer's interviews are a great way of doing this. It's a massive moral boost to the writer. To know it is thier work which has been highlighted and to be able to talk about their own writing and time here in T.S.C, knowing everyone in T.V. will get to see it and what they have created. It gives an opputunity for them to have their work highlighted on the site to a much wider audience than just in T.S.C.
Think of a story as an acorn. Small and insignificant in it's starting phase.
Yet, as the story grows and plots and sub-plots stretch out like branches, the writing itself changes and grows. The writer learns more words, expands their volcabulary and learns how to use those words better. Like the trunck of the tree, thier writing grows stronger and descriptions become more colorful and varied. Their story becomes brighter.
This is where the spreading out pays off on such a grand scale. Consider these two scenarios.
Two people, Mrs. A. and Mr. B post their stories amongs other writers. Mrs. A only reads Mr. B's work and Mr. B. only reads Mrs. A's work.
This is great as each member has someone who supports their work and probably leaves a like, adding a bit of moral to the writer.
Mrs C. However, reads a lot more members work. She has access to a whole variety of writing skills as each member brings a unique perspective in T.S.C. We all have our own life experiances which shows in what we write. We use different words and explain things differently. Ok, some writers might not bother looking at her own work, which is a shame as they loose all her knowledge and they loose out in what she can bring to T.S.C. but she has access to a whole variety of members and skills.
The amount of members we have who writes blogs have, between us such an enormous amount of experiance, skill and variation that its simply mind boggling that some choose not to tap into it. So many members explain things in so many different ways the the possibility of learning from them is simply too vast to count.
This is why I am not featured. I'm not so another may take that spot. With it I hope they stick to their story, tap into the wealth of knowedge we have here between us in a single collective known as T.S.C. So many times I have seen a writer loose heart and walk away. Which is a shame, no matter how good or bad their writing is. Does their skill matter when we look at the greater picture? Everytime someone quits we loose thier knowledge and their experiances forever.
Some poeple don't like to read a badly written story. Some won't even look at it. I think this is a terrible shame and I like nothing better than to see someone who is struggling and to stand alongside them with a few basic pointers and over time watch them grow in strength and quality. I do this in the hope that they will one day, when their stories and skills are strong that they will see someone struggling and stand with them, passing on all they have learned to the new member.
This is how we grow... This is the only way for any group to not only survive but thrive, by support, learning and aiding eachother.
this is why I am not featured in teh Writer's Interviews, because I would much rather it went to someone else and see them shine in T.V. I'd rather it went to them and with it, an opputunity for them to grow.
