Think of something crazy. Think of something insane. Think of some outrageous line you heard somewhere that you would have a hard time forgetting. Think of something negative and put it in a positive context. Think of what the typical guy does and make sure you avoid it. Think of what you really want and don't be afraid if it sounds a bit selfish. These are all ways to get your personal ad rolling. You want to capture your audience (women) with samples of the best scenes and the best footage of your life, in a brief preview known as your personal ad. The creation of the ad is a combination of knowing what's out there, and therefore what to avoid, basic psychology understanding, and a mannerism which is distinct enough to connect with a percentage of women out there. Curiosity, anger, intrigue, and a happy ending are powerful emotions to generate for the reader. What are your controversial thoughts? Write them down. Now choose a way to combine all of these things in a style that has punch. Look at popular magazine or newspaper articles for examples of writing styles that work well. Elicit what makes you tick and then proceed to write a monster. Copyright 2006 Vittorio Norman |
