A Handy Tip for Writers to Make Their Content More Exciting

That's the beauty of finding a long term writer which you can trust. It's also and advantage if your getting articles for your blog because they will all be in their style of writing, not all over the place.

I realized a couple of days ago that I had 2 posts from 2 different writers contradicting each other (not purposely of course). One said I got my 2nd BMW, and the other said I have never had a car. D:

Yes. It's all about effective communication. Some do it naturally better than others, but most people can significantly improve their writing communication skills with practice.

John.

but most people can significantly improve their writing communication skills with practice.

With all due respect to the OP and others, it's all about editing. More precisely, paring your writing down to the essentials.

Unfortunately, people tend to buy writing by the word, which is the worst possible way to judge the merits of an article.

What mental image do you get from this quote:

"On a cold windswept street, this was a warm, cheerful place with a big stove in winter, tables and shelves of books, new books in the window, and photographs on the wall of famous writers both dead and living. The photographs all looked like snapshots and even the dead writers looked as though they had really been alive."

The same idea from a by-the-word content writer:

"It was cold out, made colder by the wind sweeping along the street and picking up stray bits of debris such as newspapers, dust, and discarded cigar butts. By contrast, Shakespeare and Company, Miss Sylvia Beach's place, was warm and cheerful, heated by a big stove. It had many books, shelves and shelves of books, with new books placed in the window where they could be seen by passersby. There were tables too. The walls of the bookstore were decorated with large photographs of well-known writers, some dead, some still alive. The photos looked as if they had been taken in a casual or unaware moment. Somehow the effect was as if the dead writers were brought back to life."

*Disclaimer* I stole this method

A better tip than speaking to an audience, for me anyway, is to write the way I would speak to a friend (1 person).

If you speak to many people: it's going to sound average to everyone.

If you speak to one person: It's going to hit them deeply, and the people it doesn't appeal to will still feel the emotion.

I also agree with the editing. I pick apart my sentences and paragraphs many times before it's ready.
