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. Writing that connects is easy when you keep a few basic writing principles in mind. 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; on others, my fingers fly across the keyboard and words appear almost effortlessly across the screen. What makes the difference between writer's block and productivity? The difference lies in how I spend my time away from the keyboard. 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 they’re valuable weapons in the PR and marketing arsenal, and you need them. 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. The education system taught us that people who use a broad range of vocabulary are more intelligent that the rest of us. There is nothing wrong with writing beautifully pieces of prose that feature a stunning range of vocabulary knowledge. However, such writing is unsuitable for a business market. No business manager has the time to wade through material that meanders and weaves before a point is made. 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. It was probably so good because it clearly expressed his controlled passion towards the monumental event he was talking about. Nevertheless, it is possible to dispassionately analyze it and draw some important lessons. This great piece of oratory is known simply as The Gettysburg Address because it was delivered by President Lincoln in 1863 at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to mark a pivotal victory in the American Civil War. 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. 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. Nowadays, though, writing groups seem to be a fad, and for many a status symbol reassuring them of their writerdom. Don’t create a writing group simply for the sake of saying, “I belong to a writing group”. How To Find Freelance Jobs - Writing About Food - Did you know that jobs writing about food are available? These opportunities are available in a variety of areas. Employment in these fields is an exciting concept. For many, getting their foot in the door is the most important and most challenging first step. In order to succeed, a wide range of knowledge is needed as well as a good base of experience. These jobs are available in all sorts of media. The internet is full of postings for good quality writers in a variety of fields. Leadership Training: How to Motivate and Increase Your Employees' WANT-TO-COOPERATE Factor - Are you a leader trying to get your coworkers to change? Then you need to be aware of a basic motivational, psychological truth. People only change when they WANT to. It's like the little prospector who walked into a saloon, wearing clean new shoes. A big Texan said to his friend standing at the bar, "Watch me make this dude dance." He walked over to the prospector and asked, "You're a foreigner, aren't you? From the East?" "You might say that," the little prospector answered. "I'm from Boston, and I'm here prospecting for gold." "Now tell me something. Can you dance?" "No sir. I never did learn to dance." "Well, I'm going to teach you. You'll be surprised how quickly you can learn. Cheap Text Books Are a Great Way to Save Money If You’re a College Student - If you’re in college you most likely fit the stereotype of the poor college student, eating ramen and sucking down coffee to stay fed and awake for your late-night study sessions. Incredibly Bad Articles Will Kill Your Credibility - I've noticed a disturbing trend recently of articles suggesting that people write articles to send traffic to their websites, and enhance their credibility. In theory, the more articles you write, the more traffic you'll receive, the more credibility you'll have, the more sales you'll make. It's an interesting theory. However, what those articles fail to mention is that your writing needs to be of a certain quality. And quite frankly, I'm seeing a proliferation of poorly written--or just plain bad articles appearing across the Internet! Most Instructors Offer More Than One Option for Writing a Research Paper - Some of us have the good fortune of taking a research paper class in high school - preparing us for the inevitable assignment in college. But if you are not so fortunate, here are a few suggestions and guidelines to use for writing your first research paper: UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT Read it through a couple of times. Highlight key words - any main prompting words and any action words. CHOOSE a WORKABLE PROMPT/TOPIC Most instructors offer more than one option for a research paper. If you have a choice, decide which prompt you will do according to which you want to do, that which you have interest in. Are Writing Exercises Effective? - It was reported that the great American author Sinclair Lewis was once asked to give a lecture on writing to a group of college students: "Looking out at this gathering," he said to the assembled students, "makes me want to know how many of you really and truly wish to become writers?" Every hand in the room went up. Lewis looked at them for a moment and then folded his notes and put them away. "If that's true," he said, "then the best advice I can give you is to go home and start writing." He then turned and left the room. 6 Tips For Your Writing Journey - So, you'd like to be a writer? Congrats! Writing not only is a great way to express yourself, but can provide an income. The Difference Between Speech And Talk - Public speaking can best be described as knowing the difference between speech and talk. The first will be respected and revered, the second scorned and ridiculed. The man who can speak is a leader, the man who can talk a fool. A speech will be recalled and recited for a lifetime, talk will be forgotten five minutes after it is finished. When acquiring skills in public speaking it is vitally important to distinguish between speech and talk. How to Improve Your Writing Skill and Be A Great Writer - Want to know how to improve your writing skill? It would ultimately depend on your motivation. Millionaire Mindset: How to Develop the Powerful Mindset of Millionaires - The millionaire mindset is what sets successful people apart. Putting the millionaire mindset to use can ensure that you are applying the tools that most successful people use in order to reach their dreams of becoming millionaires. The thought process of millionaires is different from those who never even thought about making it rich in their lifetime. It is something that you should be able to follow if you wish to create wealth for yourself in the future. Here are some thinking traits of millionaires that might help you out. One of the characteristics of most millionaires and successful people in the world is that they think that they are responsible for their fate. Why Visual Aids Need to Be Less Visual - I was recently invited to a presentation by an accomplished speaker. Needless to say, his speech was well structured, his manner relaxed and confident, his eye contact and body language excellent, etc. He normally spoke without slides, but this time he felt they would reinforce and illuminate his message. They didn’t. In fact, they were more of a hindrance than a help. This is not an isolated case; it is typical. Over nearly 40 years as a communication consultant, I have seen countless essentially good speakers give a very good oral presentation, only to undermine it with slides that detract rather than add. Why does this happen? Too often speakers fail to recognize that slides are an integral part of the presentation, not an add-on. How to Use Presentation Slides to Best Effect - How often have you attended a presentation where great attention apparently went into designing the slides - and apparently none into how they were used? Or the speaker played with the slides as if to entertain rather than edify? Such idiosyncratic presentation techniques have helped give rise to the calumnious phrase "death by PowerPoint".
