Continue readingWhat is Plot? Can it Help My Non-Fiction Writing?
Writing Here at BloggingTips.com I generally focus my writing towards non-fiction writers and bloggers. But I am aware that many fiction writers also blog and visit the site. In my post, Using Fiction Writing to Improve Your Non-Fiction Writing, I suggested studying fiction to improve your non-fiction writing.

Writing I’ve recently written about being too wordy in your writing and using a process to improve your writing. “Write tight” has been the rule of thumb and “written in stone” advice for many generations in the writing world. Writing for the web has changed that concept somewhat. Writing for the web is less formal than writing for magazines and newspapers. Online writers are allowed to show the readers their personal side ...

Writing I recently posted about your writing passion, stepping out of your niche and having a theme for the day. Depending on how many topics you cover each week and how many websites you write for, you may want to consider adding a theme to each day’s writing. Some topics can even be stacked if they’re closely related or if you don’t have enough days to cover every niche you write about. A typical week for me covers topics about ...

Writing 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 store and never ...

Writing It’s a well-known fact that writers need to develop a thick skin to be in this business. I agree with that, but there are many great writers out there who’ve been demoralized by rude (deconstructive) critiques of their work.

There are so many writers who consider themselves an authority and will literally nail ...
