Welcome to my tiny space on the web! I like helping people who aspire to become writers. I also like sharing my work. I hope you enjoy reading! Thanks for visiting.
Uncovering your true self through writing You can’t underestimate the power of self-reflection, and through writing, it can be a life-changing practice that goes beyond the words you put on paper. For example, when you practice journaling, you’re essentially creating a safe place where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without being judged by...
Enhancing engagement by understanding your readers’ needs The harsh truth: forcing readers doesn’t work You can’t force readers to care about what you’ve written.

Let me start by reinforcing that writing advice never grows old. There’s always something to learn. I have written about advice often enough that even I reached a point where I wondered if readers might want to keep scrolling through the lines.
