Good Writing Deserves to Look Good!

Like an attractive body, good writing gets noticed!  But if you’re a working writer, it may not be the type  of attention you want.

Writing well without proper attire is embarrassing.  Dress it up!

As I peruse writer’s blogs and read their answers in discussions on various social networking sites, I’m amazed at the sloppiness: quotes without quotation marks; thick paragraphs with no white space in sight (breathe people!); and a severe lack of proper punctuation, to name a few.

If you’re a working writer, remember that everything you write is being scrutinized by potential clients.  The world is watching!  All the more reason to take time to present your writing as beautifully as you would for a client – every single time without exception!

Commit to ‘dress up’ your good writing on every blog post, every question and answer you make on LinkedIn, in every Tweet, in every comment you type on Facebook and everywhere you traverse in the social “cybersphere.”  Edit – re-read – edit again.

Respect your writing and the dollars will find you!

Grammar Shmammer

English connoisseurs  may not have made it past the title of this post (since I made up a word and it looks misspelled and a host of other grammatically correct reasons), but for you who have made it to this part of the sentence, you know why you’re here (and shame on you for saying ’shmammer.’)

Grammar is overrated, you may be thinking, but you’re still here so you either have a desire to learn more about the ‘G’ word or you just love reading what I write (if it’s the latter, thank you from the bottom of my ink well).

Hopefully you won’t be disappointed to learn that I’m not going to teach you about grammar.  I just wanted to point you to a blog I found that has a far deeper passion for it than I, and whose witty take on the topic is quite quaint (excuse my alliterations).

SPOGG, The Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar, recently posted an article that relates to my last post on ‘clunky’ sentences: “Sometimes, We Just Make Things Hard for Ourselves.“   How true!  Have a read, it’s good.

Happy Grammar-ing!
