Toward Improved Writing

If you're a journal writer, simply write any old way that satisfies you. More power to you.

This blog, however, is for posting commercial writing tips I've gleaned from reading "how-to" books, writing classes, and other sources. It is aimed toward helping you acquire enthusiastic readers who will pay to read your works. In otherwords, I want to help you (and I) to get published.

I'm most interested in creating novels, short stories, and poetry, perhaps because the required skills don't come easy for me.

I dabble in non-fiction, magazine articles, and journalism as well so there may be the occasional drift into these areas.
