Your Writing

 Write. Practice writing. Observe your writing and that which you have written.

The above works very well without others, but others, like those in a writing group, can help you and your writing significantly.

                A group of learners can co-operate to teach one another and that a group of writers can co-operate to help each other to write better. On this site I am offering some methods which can aid you in this endeavor. You may find that many of  the essays on this same site can also help you to satisfying writing. 

                I find it interesting that self-growth seems to occur with growth in writing abilities; and, that writing abilities mature and sharpen along with maturity and development of self. Such growth, ability, maturing, and skill building have often been well accomplished by a lone writer. Even so, a group with a common aim can be abundantly helpful.

                The lifelong process by which we grow and mature seems improved by improvement in our writing. Your observation may convince you that self development and improvement occurs as we better the quality of our writing. You may find it a good reason to keep writing.

                We may note changes in ourselves and in our writing occur during the writing of a single piece. I have often found that I can begin writing believing x rather than y and by the end of  that writing  be convinced the reality is y rather than x. Writing seems a thought process and reasoning one as well.

                As we believe in our personal growth and learning, may we not believe in our potential to develop our word power? Belief is useful and even powerful. many benefit from their belief that their practice writing improves their writing.
Our efforts to better express ourselves with language, has great potential for moving to express ourselves. As we practice writing we come to observe examples of our improved writing. Those observations can energize our writing in ways which allows it to grow and develop. We become better writers and we write better. Writers have believed that development of their writing helped them to become better human beings.

Consider a writing group

                Consider feedback. Consider the nature and use of feedback. Members of a group can provide one another useful feedback. You, as a writer, receiving congenial feedback from fellow writers, can find such feedback real aid to good and better writing. Many writers have become great without such aid, but may have done so with greater ease and speed with it.

                I hope that you are helped by my words here. You may find help or encouragement in other essays on writing at this blogsite. 

                Thank you for reading.
       
                Write.

Intro to Write With RCS

 Write With RCS: An introduction to a writing niche 


             Here are some little essays on writing. There are a couple of more in the works and ideas for couple of more in mind That seems enough to begin this little niche blog dealing with writing.

             Over the years I have had several blogs, but nearly all of them have had a mix of many topics. I have seen and believed that the better blogs nearly always have a discrete topic or niche. So, now I intend to try and have such a blog.

 
            My present suggestion to bloggers, including myself, is to sort and present your writings into clearly defined areas. My first efforts to that end will be this blog on writing. "Writing" may not be enough of a clearly defined area. So, it seems I have a great deal of room for improvement.
 
            This blog will deal with the practice of writing. It may become a "how to" start writing and keep writing and include suggestions for getting "unstuck." It may include a suggestion or two for completing a useful draft. I will probably post of seeing our writing as a process of self-development and growth. The posts here will be about bettering our writing.
 
            It is beginning to sound like a "how to blog." Maybe I should call this blog, Hints For Bettering Our Writing. I say 'our' and mean 'our.' So I will appreciate your comments, suggestions, corrections, and hints for better writing because I need them. There is a "comment" window below where you can write to us. Your commenting can be anonymous, but it is better if you can identify yourself. Of course you an identify yourself with a pen name if you wish. 

            To start a valuable piece of writing, consider making a problem interesting and follow by offering a useful solution.
