A great lead invites a reader. The rest of your piece keeps the reader. Make your leads count. linkedin.com/pulse/lead-gen… #writing #writers #blogging #linkedin #amwriting
A writing student told me she rewrote a sentence 10 ways in an assignment till she felt it was the clearest version she could deliver. Some might call this a waste of time. I call it a writer who understands William Zinsser's counsel that "[t]he clear sentence is no accident."
From the most sensible chapter on hyphens I’ve read, this parenthetical from @BCDreyer almost snuck by me: “Staring at words is always a bad idea. Stare at the word ‘the’ for more than ten seconds and reality begins to recede.” I’m thankul it didn’t. #amediting #amwriting
I’m 100 pages in and, for all the wonderful, feisty sentences I’ve marked, my favorite so far has to be “One person’s clarity is another person’s ‘Huh?’” @BCDreyer #amreading #amediting
I’m counting the seconds till I show my writing students this page next week, vindicating why I’m more ruthless than Thanos with their addictions to intensifying adverbs. @BCDreyer
Sorry it’s taken so long, @BCDreyer. But it’s here!
Using a favorite from @RoyPeterClark tomorrow in writer workshop.
Obsess over your verbs. Grow your storehouse of them. Make them active. Use them to keep the reader moving. Aim them at the theme of your piece. Look to the verb as the crux of the sentence, and treat it as such. #writing #amwriting #writers #SundayThoughts

Thanks for sharing, @crestodina! Appreciate you and @orbiteers a ton. #writing #linkedinfam #amwriting

Happy February & Friday, @EFAFreelancers fam: Working on student essay responses and emails today. What's keeping you busy? (PSA: No decaf was brewed for the capturing of this picture. Digital fist bump if you know the movie the cup pays homage to.) #amwriting #writers
Keep your action verbs close and your subjects closer. #amwriting #writers #amediting #writing

“6 Ways to Improve Your Writing in '19" In which I’m able to mention William Zinsser, @RoyPeterClark, research by @crestodina & @orbiteers, and the ever-necessary dictum to “Murder your darlings.” linkedin.com/pulse/6-ways-i… on @LinkedIn #amwriting #amediting
“Some writers think they can only write in a cabin in the woods; others think they can only write within sound of human activity. But finally all of us will write wherever we need to pay the bills.”-Zinsser #amwriting #amediting
"6 Ways to Improve Your Writing in '19" You may not say with Gertrude Stein, “Why should a sequence of words be anything but a pleasure?” But if your readers find your writing a pleasure, you’re onto something. bit.ly/2ThfpvX @LinkedIn @LinkedInEditors
Something about returning to the (home) office after a few days away. Feeling ready for ‘19 already, but still have a few projects left to finish. What’s everyone working on before NYE? @EFAFreelancers @copyeditors
