Everyone’s talking about it. And as I write this, someone is thinking of starting a new social bookmarking site too. Social bookmarking seems to be on all powerpoint presentations, on all boards, discussions and forums, as it’s the strategy in Social Media Marketing. Mister Wong, Digg, Furl, Delicious, Blink, and what not? There’s quite a lot of them.

One great thing about blogging is it can mean instant gratification. Write a post and immediately your readers are chiming in with comments.

But what does it mean when one post receives few or no comments? Are comments an accurate reflection of how many people read your site, how well-written your posts are, or the interest level of the topics you choose? No, no and no.

2. Record several takes. We’re all familiar with the comedy gag in movies of the picky Hollywood director doing hundreds of takes for a single scene, and everyone rolls their eyes. You don’t have to take it that far, but do several takes and edit the best…

You can read a hundred books on how to be a writer and that won’t make you a writer. The only thing that can ever make you a writer is the act of writing. Studying can teach you how to write correctly, but it cannot really teach you how to write well. Writing well comes from a combination of practice and talent.
