Anyone Can Be a Writer...But

Author : Patricia Deere Ring
How many times have you seen it in ads, ezines, and
articles? ANYONE can be a writer! Right. But the question is
do you want to read what they write? I was not always an "A"
student in school or college, but I do know how to hit
*spell check* on the computer or typewriter. I also know how
to use a dictionary to check the meaning of a word. Anyone
ever try looking in a reference book to learn how to use
commas or quotation marks properly?

There are many people in the world, especially the Internet
world, with brilliant ideas and huge warehouses of knowledge
within themselves. But not all of these people can express
these ideas to others in a way that is informative and
easily understood.

As a *newbie* I don't know and understand a lot about HTML,
but I realized my need to learn it, so I recently checked
out two different sites with free courses on the subject.
The first one I looked at (I will be nice and not mention
the name!) was so technical I couldn't find my way out of a
paper bag if I didn't already know how. The second site had
a printable ebook (free) of the same info that appeared on
the site. Needless to say, I printed out the ebook, which
was written in *everyday* language that I could understand.
(You have to realize that I'm the Dummy those books were
written to.) I learned more in five minutes than I thought
possible.

So, its not always WHAT you know, but whether you can TELL
others what you know! Having a head full of knowledge
doesn't help anyone but yourself, if you're not able to
relate it to others. If you don't know how to spell, use
*spell check* to correct your writing. If you don't
understand the rules of punctuation and grammar, find a good
proof-reader to look over what you have written. Let someone
else check your writing, someone not as knowledgeable in the
subject as you, to see if it's easily understood by others.

There are ways to make your writing something to be read and
appreciated by others. Good luck and better writing!
