So I’m on the mend. I don’t ache any more and any fever is long gone. My nose is stuffy and I have a nasty cough that seems to be loosening up. I still, however, feel fuzzy this morning. Which means I don’t really have a good idea for “da d**n blog.”
So I’ll take […]

An interview by Ross Dunn With Dr. Ralph Wilson, the Editor-in-Chief of Web Marketing Today. Dr. Wilson gets lots and lots of writing done and tells Ross how he does it. There’s information there any writer can use.

A client recently asked if I could put more emotion into a piece of writing. The topic is a fairly dry one and he couldn’t give me any examples. That’s often the case. The client feels something is missing or not quite right with a piece of writing and literally can’t tell you how they’d […]
Hmmm. I thought the key phrase how to write would bring up a bunch of blogs that might fall under the rubric of getting the writing done. Not so. After 45 minutes of messing around, these three are the ones I found that make any sense at all.
ReadWriteWeb - not exactly about how to write, […]

Her tips 1, 2 and 4 would work in any […]
In general, you’ll hear me tell writers they can’t wait for the muse (and yes, that sculpture is of muses and it’s on a theater in Russia) if you’re going to have a career in freelance writing. Successful freelancing requires some discipline. If you sit around, waiting for inspiration, chances are you’ll soon need to […]
I was surprised to read the title of a blog on Copyblogger called: Three Great Writing Techniques I Found While Watching Television. Surprised because I don’t even own a TV and when I do get to watch it end up congratulating myself for not participating in that wasteland.
None-the-less, guest writer Ryan Imel (who blogs at […]
Someone reminded me today what it was like when I first started writing professionally. I remember the paralysis I felt staring at a blank piece of paper I’d rolled into the typewriter. (Yeah, I am that old, but the blank screen works just as well.)
Gradually, I came to believe the experts; if I’d just start […]
Chris Garrett challenges copywriters to Check Yourself for These 7 Symptoms of the Copywriter’s Curse. Believe me, these symptoms are not restricted to copywriters – every freelance writer I’ve ever known has suffered from at least some of these at one time or another.
The nifty thing is Chris has some great suggestions about how to […]
When I’m working on a long manuscript, I’m often all over it. That is, I’m as likely to work on Chapter 1 as Chapter 10. If I’m not careful, I get lost. The easiest way to mark a spot I know needs more work is with three Xs.
