Writing skills: time to improve
Are you a blogger? Or a freelance writer? New website – LousyWriter.com – aims to help you to improve your writing skills. It is a good thing if you generate your income from writing. People do not like spam blogs and all that sort of websites.
New service has released a press release that starts with: “Stop writing junk!” It is the bold-faced statement at LousyWriter.com, a new website that helps writers and non-writers improve their writing skills. It is a free resource at LousyWriter.com
What, exactly, is “writing junk”? “Writing junk is just that: writing with misspelled words, grammatical errors, punctuation mistakes, and sloppy formatting,” says Brian Konradt, a freelance writer, who designed, crafted and created LousyWriter.com.
“The ease and informality of the Internet has made us lazy writers,” claims Konradt. “With a few taps of the keys on the keyboard, we can easily kick off a short note or letter without thinking much about content, much less formatting. Usually we think nothing about our lazy and sloppy writing in our e-mails because other people e-mail us the same type of junk all the time.”
Unfortunately, this type of thinking — that society has accepted lazy writing, especially in e-mails — has negatively affected the quality of our writing in many areas, both online and offline.
“Writing poorly adversely affects your personal life and business career,” says Konradt. “Poor writing makes you sound dumb and makes you look unprofessional. Do you really think with poor writing skills you will get a job promotion, a salary raise, or seal a multi-million dollar deal?”
Writing correctly is easy to do, according to Mr. Konradt. “We only need 2,000 different words as part of our vocabulary. We already know most of these words. We use these words in everyday conversation. Knowing simple words, where to place them, and how to use them correctly, makes us good writers.”
Writers and non-writers can use LousyWriter.com to learn how to write different forms of copy, how to use words correctly, how to write sentences, and how to communicate effectively.
The website owner – Brian Konradt. He has been a professional freelance writer for over ten years. He is founder of FreelanceWriting.com and LiteracyNews.com
I wish you good luck with your efforts to improve your writing skills. Hopefully, the described service will help you. I personally like the interface of the website: easy and intuitive to navigate. Another thing I like about it: it functions properly. It is common with new websites and services that they have a lot of bugs. But it is not the case with LousyWriter.com. Content: you will enjoy it. Easy to scan and digest.
Now you just need to spot online writing job to practise your writing skills.
