Sunshine, Especially for Writers
Without a doubt, Christine's soon-to-be-released book is a wonderful, useful, and needed addition to the crowded field of writer's aids. But what makes Christine's book exceptional is how well Christine has included her own bright outlook, soft humor, and common sense.
Writing: A Crash Course
You've heard the statistics. They go something like this:
- Writing skills are one of the two most sought after talents in new hires.
- Over 75% of communication in face-to-face meetings is made through body language, tone, and other methods besides the words spoken.
These and other similar statistics, as well as personal experience, demonstrate the challenges with writing. It is critical and yet being effective in a medium that cannot perfectly convey the complexity of our thoughts is sometimes a bit overwhelming.
At the same time, there are many manuals, guides, blogs, and courses on how to be a better writer. How do you chose the course that will deliver the results you seek?
