Writing skills are an important part of communication. Regardless of what level of hierarchy you are at in an organization, writing is a valuable skill. Managers especially cab greatly benefit from honing their writing craft.
So, you want to start a freelance writing business, eh?
Good for you! You’re taking the first step on what could prove to be one of the best journeys of your life.
Making time to write is really difficult in our intrusive modern world. The siren song of email beckons us to respond to its ‘in your face’ immediacy. Blackberries chirp and ding in public places like a chorus of obnoxious magpies in discordant harmony. Telephone, email, and people clamor for my attention all day long. If only I could find some peaceful downtime I might be able to make time to write.
In order to write well, good observation skills are a must. This is especially true when writing fiction. You need to be able to accurately observe people and events around you if you hope to convey realistic descriptions to your readers. We all are aware of watching a scene in a movie or reading a book where the setting, description, or words spoken by the characters just seems off. In many cases, this is due to the writer omitting important details in his or her descriptions, which make the scene seem false. If you want your writing to seem real, pay attention to the real life around you so you can portray it accurately on the page.
Writing is a difficult thing to accomplish at times. Few have the ability to write, fewer still have the ability to write well. Most have to work very hard at writing, but occasionally, a writer comes along who is naturally gifted.
