Writing Better
What Works and What Doesn't
Part 2
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3

Yes, of course I cleaned up the grammar and added or subtracted some adjectives or adverbs, and maybe changed the order, but the point I want to make is that if the person had just written down what he or she was thinking, he or she wouldn't have been far from having a good enough article or letter.

Yes, I polished it, but the diamond in the rough was still there to be polished!

It happened just the other day, which is what prompted me to write this article. Someone had written me an email with something profound in it, and I asked if I could quote her in an article. When I finished the article, I sent it back to her, with her rather lengthy quote in it, and here is her reply: "GAD! Seeing my words in print, I am surprised at my own clarity. Goes to show that spontaneous reactions are often the truest."

Then yesterday, I asked someone else if I could quote them, and she wrote back: "Reading that you want to quote me I am awash with emotions - pride, astonishment, surprise, delight, a little scared, somewhat uncomfortable."

It's An Emotional Thing

Do you see the emotion in what they've written back? We know from Emotional Intelligence how emotions can fog the brain; the analytical part of the brain.

How so? Many emotions go through your brain if you aren't used to writing a lot because of the thoughts you're thinking, because of your self-talk. Here are some:

• I don't know how to write.
• I'll say something stupid.
• Miss Crumpelstine said I was a terrible writer.
• Someone will misunderstand what I write and I'll get cards and letters.
• I can't do this.
• I hate to write.
• I flunked writing sophomore year in high school.
• My last English course was freshman year in college.
• I never finished high school.

What Works

There are two major ways to learn how to write: read and write.

The best writers are those who have read the most. Why? Because your brain is a marvelous thing, and picks up what you're reading, and you don't have to learn any rules. Just as a child learns how to speak. We all learn how to speak around the house. Later on in school we learn grammar rules, but we've been speaking for years.
