Don’t Bin Your Research; You Never Know When It Might Come In Handy Again…

<h1>Don’t Bin Your Research; You Never Know When It Might Come In Handy Again…</h1>

<p align=right>by Jim Green</p>

<div align=justify>It happened to me just recently… I was reviewing a mountain of files containing research material gathered over the years; years when I was churning out one book after another, articles galore for offline and online magazines, fulfilling my obligations on syndicated newspaper columns. I thought about binning a huge chunk of it – but then I thought again - there’s enough stuff here to fill a directory. And so I set about creating one, splitting it into a myriad of sections, and sub-sections with stuff like… ? Articles ? Fiction ? Non-Fiction ? Poetry ? Theatre ? Film ? Television ? Contests ARTICLES - I’d written myself and had published; articles I’d collected from other writers of note. FICTION – Reams and reams of useful data that had contributed to my published novels and novellas. NON-FICTION – Even more relating to the string of titles published under my own name since 1995. POETRY – A genre I haven’t tackled so far but still have a yen to master. THEATRE – My ongoing passion whether writing about it or not. FILM – An even deeper passion that finally produced a book that has been accepted for publication in 2007. TELEVISION – Masses and masses of material that resulted in an ill-fated televised sitcom pilot that bombed out of sight. CONTESTS – Although I’ve never personally entered a writing contest I have amassed a pile of data a mile high. And so I thought again… I converted my bulging directory into my very first membership website. Whether my accumulated bric-a-brac will be of interest to every aspiring author, playwright, poet, screenwriter, etc, I have no idea – but that doesn’t matter because I won’t be charging for access. If you would like to see how I’ve adapted my research into a membership website, you might want to visit the one featured in the resource box… JIM GREEN is a bestselling author with a string of fiction and niche non-fiction titles. http://ultimate-creative-writing-solutions.com </div>
