The Secret to Good Writing for your Author Career

I’m a big fan of democratizing writing.

I don’t think folks in ivory towers are the only ones worth reading, and that the average Joe can spin a good yarn or spread advice as well as the next bloke.

That said, I do understand why we have standards in writing.

Some people should not be allowed on a keyboard.

To that end, I have some advice, (and like all advice, you can chuck it or burn it in your brain) for those wanting to write and make money doing it.

Don’t be dense dude.

The net is a jam packed place full of lots of advice and eyes get strained trying to take it all in.

White space is your friend.

So many people are spilling out their guilty English composition flashbacks and putting out boring drek.

Don’t do that. Don’t be that guy. Write just like you talk-

EXCEPT

If you talk, um, like this, and like, you know, don’t really have much to say, unless, like, it’s like worth saying.

You know what I’m saying.

If you talk like that, (and you know who you are) don’t write. Just listen.

Actually, don’t even read this.

Go get a book, maybe some Dickens and read it.

Come back here when you’re done. We’ll wait. Go on.
