Improve Your Writing By Reading

Reading these sites, that is. I was perusing the Write 101 site and came across this page on common writing mistakes. They’re subtle, but at least I caught four of the five! Mistakes are much harder to see in your own work. I tend to set mine aside for a while and edit it after I’ve forgotten exactly what I said. If what you wrote is too fresh in your mind, you will read what you meant to say rather than what you actually typed.

Then, there is this guide to finding article topics and getting started as a freelancer from Jenna Glatzer, as posted on poewar.com. You can’t ask for a more fun and detailed explanation of getting your foot in the door. Ah, inspiration!
