I guess it all depends what we mean by 'good writing'. For me it means writing with spirit, with good intention, with clarity. Making a powerful connection with your reader. Saying what you mean and meaning what you say. I think you tick all of those boxes :-) Joanna PS I guess the combination of Yorkshire and Scotland is a good one for telling it as it is... Hi Nick

No need for blushes.

I guess it all depends what we mean by ‘good writing’.

For me it means writing with spirit, with good intention, with clarity. Making a powerful connection with your reader. Saying what you mean and meaning what you say.

I think you tick all of those boxes :-)

'Good writing' is something I aspire to... i.e. always seen as future tense, hopefully. So this is unexpected. Thank you. Like Rachel, I'm looking forward to exploring those links over the weekend. PS. I'm a Yorkshireman, but ma wee granny was Scottish.
