Writing

= This weekend you should be writing your first and second posts. If you saw a movie on the weekend, went out with your friends, ate some yummy food or read an interesting book why don't you write about it?

Remember the top 10 tips for good writing:

  1. Readers: Who are your readers?
  2. Originality: Make it interesting - try to think of something original to say.
  3. Brevity: Keep it short and simple - 100-250 words.
  4. Keywords: Use keywords often.
  5. Linking: Link often to related websites like Amazon (for books and CDs) and homepages (for movies and specific information).
  6. Clarity: Write clear short sentences.
  7. Snappy: Keep it dynamic and vibrant. Write like you would speak to a friend.
  8. Headlines: Write a succinct headline that grabs the reader's attention.
  9. Chatty: Use idioms and common expressions! This isn't an essay writing course.
  10. Proof-read: Always check your work for errors (I'll help you with this).
