Boost Our Copy on OMTimes!!
By Kathy Custren
The position of OMTimes senior editor, in my humble opinion, gives me a unique and (not to put too heavy of a spin on it) sacred station of not only working with some of the greatest conscious minds and writers today, but also the opportunity to present the work of our writers in such a way that the articles may be found and utilized by people on the Internet who need to see them. I enjoy what I do each week, and each of us plays a conscious and key part in what goes on; we really do!
It cannot escape our notice that the word, “Internet” is capitalized. In relationship terms, it is a proper noun, given the same courtesy and respect afforded to the virtual gathering of personalities and information that it is. To find our words and work on this international and worldwide mechanism, we rely on our good friend, Google, to pave the way; to be our guide and our escort; our entrée into all things searchable.
It may come as no surprise that we might want to be kind to our good friend, to help things along and make our written copy Google-user friendly. There are ways to do this, and if we choose to empower and enable our work in the greater realm of the Internet, here are some hints of the things each of us as OMTimes writers can do:
This may not pertain to every writer, but do you go through the manual process of writing as you compose? Getting off the computer and slowing down the activity of creation by putting pen to paper enables our brains to connect to words and language in ways that direct finger access to keystrokes does not. Also, in typing raw copy that is written manually, we might find ways of expression as we type that were missed with the first draft. Writing is a development of energetic progression that, when done well, brings together a wealth of possibilities. As writers, we might learn to savor that developmental process rather than speeding it along when it is not quite ready.
Experienced writers can still check these five, basic aspects of their articles for fidelity to the subject matter and its ability to be located. New writers can start to write with a focus on presenting fresh material in a way that may draw an audience to your unique vision. Either way, it helps to be found in the vast, virtual wilderness of the Internet. It is up to each writer to do what we can to boost our copy and be found here on OMTimes!!

Great suggestions Kathy! I still write first drafts by hand before moving onto Word (even with the book I'm writing now). I find that the slower pace makes it easier for my thoughts to flow in a structured format =)
Great advice Kathy! Thank-you
Thank you both, Regina and Angela, for responding. I hope, as we move forward, more writers are more mindful of these things as we write. Cheers! ~ Blessings!
Grateful I just saw this Kathy! Wonderful information!
I'm sharing with members of the Metaphysics category to insure they see it!
Great, Shelly - thank you very much! ~ Blessings!
Grateful for your presence, Debbie ~ Blessings! :)
Thanks Kathy for the useful pointers ...much needed
Thank you both,Debbie and Sunanda, for your comments.
Debbie, articles do not just go to 'cyber space,' no. Articles that are liked or featured within the community "may" be forwarded to the publishers by the editors. Editors let the writers know when the work is being recommended. Articles (for example, some forecasts) may go right to the website, while articles are slated into the magazine schedule a period of time ahead of when they may be published. Our writers are encouraged to 'stay tuned.'
Enjoy the rest of your day and the weekend ahead ~ Blessings!
Thank you very much Kathy for this informative and concise piece - really appreciated. Thanks also to Shelly for highlighting this to me.
Thank you, Jeni - great to hear from you. Enjoy your Friday and weekend ahead ~ Blessings!
