For a novice novel ist/poet l ike me, I wanted to know i f my
work fe l l within the accepted range. Now I do not have a
mentor here and for a person l ike me, who writes because I
have a story to te l l regardless of the current trend, sa le
numbers might be misleading.

There is another problem in
taking sales number. Of course, I
wi l l never get a sa les number for
WIP novels ! ! ! St i l l , i f I need to
check the #Qual ity of my #WIP
#Novel or #Anthology of
#Poetry, where would I go. . . .
Here stat ist ics came to my rescue.
With Control Limits I can now see
how my work compares and deviates
with the best of the genre. I t is not a
rocket science when an a lgorithm
can predict a best sel ler with 84%
accuracy. This is what we term in
#CorporateWorld as a #QuickHit . I t
would give you a direct ion about
your writ ing.

The f irst version is for Poetry.
Yes, I d id i t to check my f irst
Anthology of Poems #RubyDrops.
First Poems may not fol low the
same rules of the prose (most of
the readings are created with
prose in mind) I had to be sure i f
my work fe l l in the accepted
range of the work by the masters .
The approach is s imple, a l l you need
to do is f i l l the corresponding data
and then #Excel sheet is would
compare your work with that of the
masters , g ive you the v isual
representat ion a lso interpretat ion. I t
is an amazing tool for new writers or
anybody who wants to #Check and
#Improve.
