I’m exploring the theme of powerful writing this month and inviting readers to contribute with one-liners, guest posts and pieces on their own blogs.
The results have been electrifying and I’m delighted to have the chance to share some of the posts here today. There may well be more to follow: watch this space!
Does it make any difference (or So What)? Is it something my children would be proud of? I always wonder what would happen if they stumbled across my blog archives in years to come. Sentimental as it might seem, it tends to be a good gauge of quality writing for me. Powerful writing makes a difference or has a purpose.
There you have it. Powerful writing delivers a message, speaks with authority, communicates simply, takes a risk and makes a difference.

What an inspirational topic. I love the fact that so many great blog authors out there are willing to put their minds to work to add to the topic. Will need to think of something I want to say on it myself!
