  • It Was Good - Enough For Shakespeare! - One of the core conflicts for creative artists of all kinds is the tug-of-war between art and commerce. Frankly, an artist needs to make money, and it is preferable to make it from his craft.

On the other hand, being able to write on any project at all can polish valuable skills, and teach one the rules of the publishing industry.
  • From Information Age to Recommendation Age - Not too long ago, when someone wanted information, she would have to drive to the library, use the card catalog, and search the stacks of books and magazine to find it. Then the Information Age arrived. Computers and the internet have brought information home to the average person. There is now too much of a good thing because of this fact. Many people believe we are still in the Information Age. What they do not realize is that people are drowning in too much information to the point where they are easily overwhelmed.

  • How to Write Words Worth a Thousand Pictures - We live in a new image-driven society. It can be hard on writers unless they learn to connect with today’s readers.

So, let’s take three well-known words in film making as cues for effective writing. Ready? Lights! Camera! Action! Lights! Catch the reader's attention. You catch your reader's attention when you know who they are and what holds their interest. Yes, write what you know but also write for who you know.
  • Writing in the Shower (or Wherever You May Be) - I just glanced at the clock. 7:35 am. That leaves me ten, maybe fifteen minutes to write before it's time for me to head for my day job. What can I possibly accomplish in so little time? A lot, as it turns out. My current schedule only permits me to devote snippets of time to my passion, my true vocation. On some days, despairingly, I spend those precious moments staring helplessly at a blinking cursor, or with pen in frozen hand;
  • Write a Better Technical Article in Half the Time - Good technical articles are challenging to write. They’re time-consuming, demanding to research and hard to organize.

But if you can’t – or don’t want to -- then read and apply the tips below to save time and energy on research and writing, and come out with a much better product.
  • The Secret to Good Writing - Skilful business writing involves getting your message across simply and quickly. This often means writing in a style that is easily read and understood by a broad audience. Yet, writing simply is often difficult for most of us. Why? The answer lies in our school education. We learnt that if we used big words and complex sentences, we were more likely to get an ‘A’ by our English teacher or University lecturer.
  • Overcoming Writer's Block: Avoiding the Trap - I may as well just say it. Writer’s block, I’m convinced, doesn’t exist. Mostly, I think, authors use writer’s block as an excuse to explain to themselves, an editor, or a concerned spouse why the book isn’t done or the chapter hasn’t been turned in. Writing is talking on paper. Sometimes literally. And you never hear someone say, “I can’t talk anymore. I’ve got talker’s block. There just aren’t words there that can come out.
  • What Abraham Lincoln Can Teach Us about Clear, Concise Writing - Abraham Lincoln, America's iconic 16th President (1861-65), was never known as either a great writer or a great orator. Yet he penned one of the most highly praised and oft-quoted speeches in history.
  • Debunking the 7 per cent Rule, Public Speaking's Most Pernicious Myth - Have you ever heard the adage that communication is only 7% verbal and 93% non-verbal, i.e. body language and vocal variety? You probably have, and if you have any sense at all, you have ignored it. There are certain "truths" that are prima face false. And this is one of them. Asserting that what you say is the least important part of a speech insults not only the intelligence of your audience, but your own intelligence as well. The whole objective of most speeches is to convey information, or to promote or defend a point of view. Certainly, proper vocal variety and body language can aid the process.
  • How to Have an Effective Writing Group - The works you’ve written are numerous, ranging from short stories to even the novel, hidden in a storage bin (under the bed) collecting dust. But there comes a time when you must wipe away that dust, regain your pride, and prepare your babies for publication! But, how do you get such a critical, unbiased eye to analyze your works, offering both praise and criticism? It’s simple - start a writing group! Creating a writing group is the easy part, but creating a functioning and beneficial writing group can be quite a task. Writing groups are age-old sessions where writers obtain helpful evaluations for their works.
