I visit your blog from time to time. It looks like you are developing your own voice. All it really takes is gaining confidence in your writing style and taking it to where you want to take it.

There will always be someone who won’t like what you write and the way in which you write it. By the same token, some people will follow you for the same reason others won’t.

Find your voice and become confident in it. That confidence will carry you through the times when the ‘haters’ are hating.

Personally, I consider myself a writing hack. I write because I enjoy it. There are others far more eloquent and learned than I, but that doesn’t stop me from writing. There is a little corner on the internet for my NJFM blog and I intend to live and write comfortably in that space.

Once you find the confidence to occupy your FYBL (find your better life) space to the fullest you’ll be amazed at where it will take you.

They’re not very profitable on this blog, but they work very well on my other sites.

After posting my comment, I noticed that my final words, “you can make it” now have a URL attached to them.

Just wondering what that is. Is it an affiliate marketing arrangement?

Great post with some great tips!

And thank you for linking to my blog.

You have just inspired me to become more active in posting more frequently to my blog. I often get questions about word usage (effect vs. affect, assure vs. insure, etc.), so I’ll be posting more of those kind of tips.

A couple other tips I would give your readers if they want to become better writers:

First, read, read, read. Eventually, good writing will “sink in.” Second, always – I repeat always – proofread what you’ve written. An occasional typo in informal e-mail exchanges is okay; but anything else you write should be as “perfect” as you can make it.

I know …. I hate clichés too. But I’m a firm believer that anything worth doing is worth doing well.
