A Writer’s Health and Resolutions

As a writer, how healthy are you? How many days a week do you fall out of bed, stagger to the coffee pot, grab a smoke and then plant yourself in front of the computer? Be honest. Maybe coffee and cigarettes aren’t your vice—maybe it’s a soda and donut—the fact is you’re most likely planting your buns on the work chair …

Writing the Infamous Prediction Post: 2010

It’s that time of year: prediction posts are upon us. If you’ve been involved in blogging for the past few years, even from an observational standpoint, you are probably familiar with the unavoidable prediction posts that come just prior to the turn of the year. Bloggers aim to do a prediction post every year, as it helps to establish their authority and push their blogging career forward.

The area in which you blog is unlikely to be of importance when it comes to prediction posts; nearly every industry has an air of expectation surrounding it, which is a curiously interesting topic of discussion right around New Year’s Eve. Heightened excitement for a new year means new opportunities on a personal and professional level, whether you’re an individual or an entire entity. New fiscal years, new calendar years, new semesters and new resolutions. All around, the new year presents everyone and everything with a generally clean slate.

Stop Wasting Time on Social Networks

As a blogger, there are two major aspects of your professional presence in the online environment: your writing abilities and your business savvy. By creating content and publishing it on the web, you are also creating a need to market yourself. Otherwise, no one will come across your content and your voice will not be heard. Balancing your life to accommodate these two demanding aspects of your blog can be a tough task, but managing your time around these needs can set you on the right path.

Instead of informing you of services, tricks and tips for trimming the fat off your daily activities, I’m going to emphasize the need for avoiding the specific lure of wasting time on the web. I think there are plenty of tools, books and guides for making your work day more efficient. The importance of time-wasting on the web is especially pertinent to bloggers, however, as this is a primary outlet for self-marketing.

Third Person Pronouns

In this final article on pronouns I will be addressing pronouns used for third person.

Pronouns take the place of nouns which means that third person pronouns do the same thing. They take the place of people, but these pronouns do not include first person or second person forms.

Third person singular pronouns are: he, she, and it. These pronouns are used when the pronoun is the subject of the sentence.

Example:

He went to the …
