Show Them What You've Got!

Your writing is an extension of you as a person. What you present to the world is what they will remember about you. I realize this is a subject that is not approached on many other sites, but I feel the need to make this a high priority here.

You see, I am also an editor on Fullofknowledge.com. Our standards there are very high. I do not want to be an editor here, I want you all to speak your mind, in your own voice, but do not hate me if I leave a comment on your article asking you to proofread it carefully.

I do this, not for my benefit, but for yours, and for every writer on this site! We are a team, and teams help each other out. Even though I do not have time to work with each of you one on one here, I still want to see you be the best writers you can possibly be. It is what I love so about editing.

You see, at Fullofknowledge, we don't just publish or decline. Our editorial team works with writers, so that they know where they need to improve, and can learn and grow from the experience. So, if you see me leave a comment about something in your article, please know that I do so with the utmost respect, and with the intention of helping...never hurting.

How you present yourself is important. The words you put forth speak for YOU! Make them the most well chosen words you can find, and you will see your readership grow. Make your subject matter interesting, and they will always come back to see more. Make your articles more readable, and you will have far more readers, and get far more views. Believe me, it is well worth the extra effort!

I have finally decided on the perfect subject matter for my writing here on PWG. I think many of my articles will include helpful tips for my friends in writing! So, stay tuned, if you want to be a better writer, and most important of all...always enjoy what you write, and others will as well!

  1. hey no +, good work :P

    Yes, fact of the matter is a poorly written sentence causes the brain to 'hiccup', and when the brain stops being able to think fluidly, it looks for the back button.

    1. Excellent way of putting it, Drew!

    2. FYI: Sometimes this blog will not let me post a comment, but I can post a reply. Interesting article. I try to edit carefully, but I am a bit dyslexic and can get things jumbled. Plus I tend to write late at night after my business day is over when I really should be in bed... like now!

    3. Yes, same here with the late nights, Kathyrn!
      That is why my next article mentions going back and fixing errors even after publication.
      I am an editor, and I still have to edit my self QUITE OFTEN! LOL!

  2. I'll be looking forward to these tips. I'm not that good of a writer, I also have a hard time writing long articles. And let me know what happens with the pinterest thing, I haven't pinned my post because of it lol.

    1. Well, David, though I am still a bit confused on the Pinterest thing myself, Eden Jaid makes a valid point. Is Pinterest REALLY going to send GOOGLE a BILL! I should think NOT! LOL!

      As to long articles...150 words isn't so bad, is it? Personally, I have the opposite problem...I can be as "wordy" as Tolkien if I don't watch myself!

  3. You are more than welcome in mentioning my flaws. I am just new in writing or blogging, so I still have lots of stuff to learn.
