  • The Write Won

    • I didn't write a single word over the long weekend. That's okay becuz I finished reading two books. If not writing, I'll settle for reading. 2 days ago
    • Know your subject before you start writing. If you don't research a topic or have 1st-hand experience--, you'll sound vague and uninformed. 2 days ago
    • To increase your readability, make your sentences more interesting, vary their length and the way you begin your sentences. 2 days ago
    • As u edit, watch that u don't start all ur sentences the same way. Vary them by starting them with a subject, a phrase, a verb, or a clause. 2 days ago
    • I challenge you to broaden your perspective. Read books by unknown or by authors you haven't read before. Book Clubs are great for this. 2 days ago

No one puts “Blogging” in the Corner!

The Deliberate Writer is a writer’s blog.  Meaning, it’s a platform I created to dialog with writers–, or anyone else who is interested in reading about writing.

[yawn--.  I know…]

But since creating this category, I often feel like I’ve constructed my own box or barrier around my freedom of expression. 

This inflexible category (of my own making, I admit) stunts my thoughts.  Sometimes I want to write about other things I’m passionate about, but I can’t.  I can’t because the topic doesn’t concern the craft of writing or provide writing advice. 

So, this is my new declaration.

[suspenseful pause]  

I don’t want to feel constrained or confined with my own blog anymore.  I’ve decided expand my blog topics.  If I want to blog about public relations or my latest bad hair cut or even fried chicken, I want to be able to do it. No, I WILL do it!

Now that I got that off my chest, I want to iterate:  The Deliberate Writer is a writer’s blog.  So, even though I may write about my job, my unmanageable hair or food, I’ll likely somehow relate it all back to the joy of writing.  Because, Oh, Zach–. I’m a writer. That’s what I am. What I do. [tap, tap] Ahh!

Write-On!
