Get A Second Opinion

A friend of mine is midway through writing a book, and has given me the opportunity to proof-read the first few chapters.

"Have a friend proof-read your work."

Its not that he's not good at spelling and grammar, but it never hurts to have a second pair of eyes on your work before it gets out there.
Spell check doesn't always pick up on redundancies.

Hey Buddy Ol' Pal!

I have said not to make a personal blog. I even titled it “Let’s Get Impersonal.” That was for effect. Now I’m going to tell you to get personal.

“Blog to your best friend.”

Now that you’re not talking about that hair that keeps growing back in that awkward spot, and what you wore to work yesterday, let’s get intimate.

It’s easy to blabber, “blah.” To engage your readers, its best to envision them. Talk to them like you know them, like they are your family. In a way, we are.

Write It Down!

I should point out that these tips are in no particular order, yet.

Last night I had lots of ideas going through my head about what to write about over the next week or two. I was going out so I didn't have my computer on. Usually when this happens I think, "I'll remember it later." I usually don't.

"Write down your inspirations throughout the day, whether in a notepad or on your mobile device."

I whipped out my phone and started tapping away at the notepad, saving those gems for later. Start a trend of doing this now, and you'll have lots to refer back to if you ever get the dreaded writer's block!

I know I'm new here, so I want to thank you for taking the time to read. I hope you follow my blog and comment to show your support!
