Casual Articles - Top Ten Writing Tips To Help You To Write More
Do you remember how you felt after your last interaction with another person either on the phone or face to face? That person - it could have been a customer, a colleague, a salesperson, a friend or even a member of your family. Did they make you feel good, uplifted and more positive, did they leave you feeling neutral or did they make you feel down and more negative.Unfortunately, most of us have grown up in a negative culture where it's much easier to tell people what they did wrong rather than praising them when they succeed. Research in the United States found that 65% of employees received no recognition for good work in the past year. Similar research in other countries of the world shows comparable results.<

“A corporation's primary goal is to make money. Government's primary role is to take a big chunk of that money and give it to others.” -Larry EllisonDue to the rapid rise in house prices and the booming real estate market interest only loans are extremely popular and quite useful. This type of loan differs from a traditional loan. This is because each payment made to a traditional loan pays down both principal and interest.However, in an interest only loan, the payment is just for the interest. For a loan of $20,000 dollars, you would have to pay, at prime rate, only $71 dollars a month.Interest only loans are a great way to finance investments. Place your money in a high yield money market account, mutual fun
=> Tip One: Pay attention to images

Your right brain thinks in images, and when you write, you translate images from your right brain into words. Usually this process happens so quickly that you're unaware of it. If you can make this process conscious, you can goose up your own creativity. Stephen King calls this process "writing with the third eye --- the eye of imagination and memory."
To get the hang of this, try Jean Houston's process, adapted from her book, *The Possible Human*. (URL above.)

In recent studies by the American Life Project and The Guardian (UK), researchers asked whether or not the popularity of blogs today was growing in the two countries; and if so, why? The results on the popularity of blogs today were not exactly what most members of the blogosphere might expect.Researchers working on the American Life Project found that the popularity of blogs today in terms of readerships in the United States was absolutely exploding; however, they also found that the amount of blogs available was increasing slowly in comparison. In the last six months of 2004, for instance, blog readers grew from a mere 17% of the population to a robust 37%--a significant increase. However, blog writers only increased from 5%

Often the first thing one does when searching for a home to rent is assess their income. For many Utahans with large families, liabilities or low wages, this can seemingly be a discouraging task. Utah's economy is increasing and therefore the population is swelling right along with it. This progress is in turn nudging, or rather, shoving the cost of renting an apartment in Utah to levels that are surpassing previous years. Over the past four years, [Utah] has seen the cost of housing, both rental and owner-occupied, rise more that 50 percent and rental vacancy rates drop to 4 percent or less (www.huduser.org/periodicals/pdrperio.html).As daunting as this may seem, there are countless options for those who simply cannot afford t

Real estate negotiation is a book-length subject, and one of those reasons why it can sometimes be a mistake to sell your property on your own. A good real estate agent, after all, should have some good negotiating skills learned from experience. However, there are some things you can learn a piece at a time, and this is one of them.Of all the techniques of real estate negotiation, and of negotiation in general, the compromise is one of the most common. In fact, it is so much a normal part of negotiation, that people often forget that it is a "technique." Both sides expect to have to compromise on many points, and it is the easiest way to settle a difference. How you arrive at that compromise, though, is crucial.Negot

Your first draft of any piece of work is "mud" --- raw material. Julia Cameron
For the past two or three years I've read and heard, "Don't do any revising or editing until you have finished writing the whole story or book."What? That goes against common sense and everything I've learned in all the years I've studied, have written, have taught, and have read. The reasons I disagree are several, but a main one (and I've seen examples of this too many times) is if an author waits until after he finishes and then changes something toward the start, he often forgets a later part of the story affected by the change but not adjusted. A story develops from the beginning to end, and once written, any change at the beginning makes differences later in the piece, changes that are easy to miss. Thus cohesion and cohe

Your first draft of any piece of work is "mud" --- raw material. Julia Cameron refers to your first draft as "laying track", another term I like.
If the first draft's awful, great! It's meant to be. It's only raw material. However, if you don’t create the first draft, or you wait until you have a really great idea that's worth a first draft, you won’t write anything. Write. Make mud.
=> Tip Three: Just write --- think on the page, or on the screen, NOT in your head
Thinking too much while you write is treacherous, because you can spend two hours "writing" and end up with half a page of work. Write-think. That is, think on the page, not in your head.
