oliver818: Lockdown in Shanghai is killing me. I thought Id use this time to write but actually I just feel a bit depressed and shitty so I can?t seem to get anything out. It sucks but that?s life when you choose to live in another country I guess. But im going to leave as soon as I can. And I dont plan to come back.

oliver818: Hi everyone.
I just added a new competition about writing from an unusual perspective. Those of you who regularly give feedback on my writing might have noticed this is something I like too play around with. There are a couple of reasons for this.

1- It is great fun to give voice to an inanimate object. If you haven't tried to imagine the voice of chair being sat down on by a really fat person then you're missing out on something.

2- It is really good practice for giving a distinctive voice to a character. The best writers are very good at finding interesting and unusual ways of distinguishing their characters, so trying this out with characters that are obviously different is a place to start.

3- Dialogue is fun but hard so practicing it with inanimate objects who you can give a voice to yourself is a really good opportunity.

I hope some of you will join in and have some fun!

    Joe Consoli: Oliver, thank you for a reply on my free verse poem. I was just checking out your profile. I like personifying inanimate objects as well. In fact when I was in fifth grade, the assignment was to personify an inanimate object. Sister and said you could be a piece of chalk chalkboard or a school desk. I jumped on the school dust right away and I wrote one of my first creative stories called Bruisey, Brownsey, Strongstuff which spoke of the three different students who sat in the school chair at different periods of the day: one of them was me. I am somewhat interested in knowing what kind of money a writer can make getting published in today's world. -
    oliver818: Hi Joe.
    Well I?d like to say I knew but I haven?t managed to publish anything for money yet. I think you need to find a niche market. There are lots I websites available where they might give a little bit if they like what you wrote though. -
