I hate writing period…..English in school was usually just after lunch….ie: nap time. ugh….
Back to the topic. Writing is like anything in life. It requires consistency to be good. The Winter Olympics recently concluded…Eh
Do you think those athletes just started their career at the games? Probably not. Writing is the same. It takes practice. The more you “exercise” the easier it becomes. Here are some “exercises” for you to try every day.
1. Sit down at a computer. Start a timer for 4 minutes. Write down everything that comes to mind. Don’t hesitate or worry about content, spelling or grammar. When you’re finished, do what you like with the result: Delete it, save it or frame it as a masterpiece. Skills developed: Smooth writing flow; brainstorming; typing (if you need it).
2.Role-play: Look out your window. (If your not near the window, go over to one) With the first creature (human/animal/alien) that you see, write down, in 2 sentences or less, what they’re thinking. Unless your psychic, use your imagination. Skills developed: Audience analysis; imagination; smooth writing flow.
3. Take one e-mail or other document you wrote yesterday and rewrite it. Pick something short. Do not take more than 5 minutes. The Challenge: Make it at least 15% shorter, while still communicating the same message. Skills developed: Editing; minimization of words.
4. Learn a new word. More words = more ammo.
This total process will take less time than it will to watch 15 minutes of boring morning news…Try it: Do all 4 exercises for 2 weeks. By doing so, you will improve your blogs, articles or just plain ole’ emails, thus improving your opportunities in Creative Passive Income.
Till next time……
