The Start of Something

Hello World!

Well here I am. I’ve had some ideas rattling in the back of my head for a while. You should be able to see them pour out in time. Writing has never been a particular talent of mine but then, I guess this is an area I would like to develop with this little blog and we’ve all got to start somewhere. I found some wisdom on how to write with style, an essay which has been boiled down into 7 bite-size chunks. I will try my best to follow them:

1. Find a subject you care about
2. Do not ramble, though
3. Keep it simple
4. Have guts to cut
5. Sound like yourself
6. Say what you mean
7. Pity the readers
