Writing to make a connection - November theme

Writing to make a connection - November theme

25 October, 2007 Posted by Joanna As Confidence Themes

October is whizzing to its close which means its time to let you know about next month’s theme at Confident Writing.

We’re going to be looking at writing to make a connection. This is what I said about it before…

Writing that establishes a sense of connection with your reader, a wider community, the wider world. Writing with rapport. Writing that develops words, ideas, stories and new learning in collaboration with others. Writing that flows from connection with a sense of place, a connection to your roots and to your self.

But I can see so many other possibilities spinning out of it too - can’t you? I can hardly wait to get started.

And it just lends itself to collaborative writing and learning, so next month seems like the perfect time to launch the first group writing project here - which is just going to be sizzling with some global connections…

More on this next week.

It also lends itself to guest writing so once more there’s an invitation to you to get involved - to write something about how words and writing can help us to make a connection - with our readers, with colleagues and customers at work, with people that we’re learning, campaigning or daydreaming with, with the places where we live and work, with ourselves.

It’s a chance for us to share, connect and strengthen our writing together.

Confident Writing runs on monthly themes, based on the ingredients of confident writing. This month we’ve been looking at writing with clarity - next month it’ll be writing to make a connection. Subscribe to the feed to follow where the conversation goes…

Let me know in the comment box below (or e-mail me at joanna@confidentwriting.com) if you’re interested in guest writing something here next month - or have an idea for something I could guest write for you. That would be another great way to make a connection.
