Lately I've been busy completing a series of articles. Some of you have already read the first in the series, and I thank you.
As a writer, I have attended a few book signings the past few years. Besides the usual author giveaways...bookmarks, postcards, sticky notes etc...It's good to have a raffle sometimes. I've seen authors have drawings for different prizes, ranging from copies of new books to gift baskets to something really unusual.
With over fifty years of collecting experience, and a never ending thirst for knowledge, I don't think I'll run out of coin writing/blog ideas until the turn of the next century. New issues, new discoveries, circulation finds, roll searching...always something new, and usually good.
As a writer, I'm always searching for new ideas, topics, research for articles. What does the collecting community want to read about?
A few years ago at this time, I was at home recovering from an accident. When I was a bit more active, I got some writing done. I wrote a good number of articles for coin publications. When I look back, I realize that these were some of my favorite articles.
Busy week of writing, before the holiday and my birthday (which occur on the same day).
As a writer, I attend book signings and other events. Sometimes I offer a giveaway item. Bookmarks and book business cards are common. But writers must get a little creative in order to stand out.
I have a birthday coming up. Time to take inventory and assess, especially where my writing career is going.
I've written coin stories, articles, even one book, over the course of a 35-year career. Writers learn much along the way. And I have found that numismatists are a very tough audience.
The Numismatic Literary Guild has announced the rules for its 2017 Writers Competition. As a writer, I am interested. I've been a member for many years, and proud to be a part of it.
