Why confident writing matters
Well I’ve got my own ideas about why confident writing matters, but this time it’s over to you…
What’s important to you about writing with confidence?
- Is it feeling self-assured, sure-footed, confident in your writing?
- Is it hearing words of praise from your boss, your customers or your readers about your clear, easy to read writing?
- Is it seeing your name in print? Your book on a shelf, your posts circulating round the blogosphere?
Perhaps it’s about overcoming blocks and barriers. Getting rid of negative beliefs that you’ve carried with you since school.
Or perhaps it’s finding the confidence to write from the heart, to tell it the way it really is.
Let me know why writing with confidence matters to you. The answers will help me develop this blog to match your writing needs.
Yet another old post, but I’m the type of blog reader who reads all the archives when finding a blog I like the look of.
Anyway, as a fictional writer who predominantly writes in the Roleplaying ‘arena’ I’ve found that confident writing has the following benefits:
1: Having confidence in writing will often attract readers, and for roleplaying, fellow players.
2: When collaborating in writing a story that you’ve started, being confident in your writing allows you to better direct your plot.
3: Possessing a confidence in your writing is so often, in my own experience, clearly evident in what you write. The more confident you are, the better you write.
I hope you got plenty of email responses to this blog entry, because it was quite an interesting competition.
Matt, those are really illuminating dimensions of confident writing and what happens when you practice it. Thanks
