Becoming a good writer is a lot like becoming a good mathematician. It takes years of studying and hard work. But according to Ann Handley, there are nine simple rules that you can follow to become an excellent writer. The first thing is to ask yourself these four questions often as you are writing: “What am I trying to say? What words will express it? Is this image fresh enough to have an effect? Can I put it more shortly?” George Orwell, author of “The Animal Farm” said he asked himself these…

Narrative writing with a Prompt Prompt: Write a story about a character (myself or someone else) who is struggling with a decision. Why is this decision so hard to make? If you have ever heard of the metaphor “a fork in the road,” it can be hard to make a decision between two topics of interest or even a life or death situation. A young man named Harper and his friend Hemingway, also known as “Hemmie” woke up on a peaceful bright morning with the sun grazing the clouds with a cotton candy…

I think that no matter what I am writing, I am always writing for a specific reader. Be it work emails or school assignments, I always keep in mind who I am writing to, so that my writing style does not come off as unprofessional, not respectful, or “too proper”. For example, in the design industry, you can never know whether a person will expect complete professionalism from you, or will he want to talk like a human instead of a robot. When writing emails to clients, coworkers or the boss, I…

The Magerian Power" was started when he was twelve and was a story much like The Hobbit by J.R.R…

MLA Format Exercise The last English course I took was an online essay writing class. I honestly didn’t like the course very much. It just seemed like I would turn things in and then I would get feedback and the teacher would tell me exactly what to fix to get a better grade. Looking back at it I don’t feel like I grew academically through taking the course. One thing I did learn from the online class was a better understanding of different types of essays.Such as; descriptive, expository,…

This is actually a good question! Personally, I will share with my wife, friends and family members before I share with my boss or co-workers. I make that statement because of the line of work I am in. My field of work does not require any writing skills yet it does require reading skills. When I say reading skills I am referring to reading blueprints of symbols and abbreviations rather than words. I am a welder and we have to read blueprints in order to put a part together and weld it…
