Another Day Goes By
you will be amazed at the wonderful writing education you could get at this site. I get them emailed to me everyday and I am constantly amazed at the simple, yet so important, things I have learned to improve my writing. If you took 15 minutes and did each daily exercise it would be like being in a perpetual writing course.
Today’s was so good I had to highlight it for all my writing buddies. There are four words – so very simple ones, that sneak into your prose, and, without you realizing it, just sabotage the quality of your writing. Did you see them? I just used all four in the preceding sentence and I bet you can’t pick them out. That’s how subtle they are. As I keep writing, they keep popping up. Oh, what’s a writer to do with these sneaks? The link below shows you how remove them and strengthen your writing.
If you want to know what the four words are, follow this link and begin performing major surgery on your best pieces. Once you know what the four words are, come back and see how many I’ve used in this post. Aghhh! Lol! (FYI – I didn’t put them in on purpose – I just wrote it! – Sneaky!)
Four Words That Are Killing Your Prose
And so, as another day goes by, how many things sneak into our days and sabotage us, needing to be cut out, and…I have written.
