It's been forever since I last posted. It's not because I haven't been writing though. Quite the contrary, I've been writing more than ever! I decided to do something for myself and take a writing class. As I was writing my book, I realized that my lack of formal training was starting to show. I strongly recommend a workshop style class for anyone planning on publishing a book. You'll undoubtedly learn about flaws in your writing that you previously overlooked or didn't realize were there.
My writing class hasn't just helped for the memoir; it's helped me with content on all platforms. In the apps, tweets, posts, and website content. I've written a business plan, a sales pitch (for my new business Day Owl - App Development) and a contract. It was after the third email of the day yesterday that I realized whether you're an author or not, we all write. To become effective communicators, we all need to hone the skill.
My next post will be one of the stories I wrote for the class.
