A writing source provides not only inspiration, but also a place from where you can derive knowledge about the topic you are writing about. So, if you are writing about carpentry, it is essential that you learn some basic technical terms associated with carpentry such as hammer, chisel, etc, and their uses. It would definitely help if you have done carpentry work yourself, because that experience will give you a much deeper, personal understanding of your subject. You might fall short on... more...

The best place for him may prove to be, not the quiet spot on a mountain top he dreams of, away from people, but in a battle of wits with his children. The number of questions a child can ask is astonishing. Why are handkerchiefs square? Why is soap slippery? Why is a clock called a clock? A list of questions has been devised to keep you moving on a straight track instead of foggily in a cir... more...

Many people dream of writing a best-selling business book. Surely, the world is waiting for their unique wisdom . . . or so they think. The reality is far different. The average business book offered by a major publisher sells about 5,000 copies. Even if everyone who gets a copy reads it, that's not a lot of influence. By comparison, a best selling business book typically sells 50,000 to 100,000 copies. Of those copies, about 10 percent will ever be opened . . . and less than 5 pe... more...

But somehow there seems to appear a vague notion that handwriting and personality are so closely connected as to be too sacred to touch. "The illegible, sloppy handwriting portrays a complex character, so it is best not to try to change either." Nothing could be further from the truth.

It's happened to most of us that write and if it hasn't happened to you yet it will. It's only a factor of time and exposure. Someone has stolen your labor intensive work and put their name on it. Or, taken your work and rearranged the paragraphs and put their name on it. Or, taken all your good ideas and reshuffled the words and put their name on it. Or any combination of the above. If you publish and distribute on the web you may have hundreds of articles ... more...
