There are many articles out there that I find interesting and very helpful on the Internet. These are talented writers who pay a lot of attention to every word, letter, number, dot, punctuation mark that they put into their articles. Some of these renowned writers are people like me, someone who works from home, sitting there sipping his or her fourth cup of coffee, smoking up the room with cigarette smoke and screaming at the kids to stop fighting.

 There is one element in ALL of my favorite articles that I find present….and that is, they’re all very personal. Yes, personal as in, the writers are not afraid to reveal themselves, their lives, their mistakes, and their experience as a writer in their articles. They scream on top of their lungs with BRIGHT BOLD LETTERS and swear their heads off when someone screws with their work. In other words, good writers usually put their hearts into the articles that they write.  

I can tell you that writing is a very methodical and also mechanical process. After some time, you write just to get it over with and when this happens, the quality of the article drops dramatically. You sit there wondering if something is wrong with the batteries in your wall clock because time seems to have stopped moving. It happens all the time. This is not the way it is supposed to be done. Good writers don’t do this. When they start getting robotic or mechanical, they get off their butts, do something else, stretch a little, read and then get back to writing. (more…)
