Meryl K. Evans, who bills herself as a “Creative Content Maven for Hire,” contributed the following tips on what I would generalize as tips about word use.
- In 10 Invisible Writing Mistakes, she talks about crutch words, admits to being lazy and shows how to avoid them.
- Couple this with Dodging Tired Clichés and Phrases and you’ve got, if not a formula, at least a way of thinking about how you use language.
Some good ideas here, Meryl and some excellent links to chase to learn more. Thanks!
Not so incidentally, Meryl’s main site, Meryl.net, is a great example of a website that promotes a writer.
Write well and often,
