As an avid writer and reader I spend a few minutes every day reading the thoughts of other contributors. Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised. Often I am not.

I see the same mistakes made time after time.

Before I list six common errors let me tell you that I spent many years as a professional letter writer, editor, proof reader, report writer and speech writer. I have also penned eight books and have had many letters, articles and short stories published in countless newspapers, magazines and, of course, all over the internet.

If you want to check this for yourself you can look on any search engine and you will see my name come up all over the place. (Now I am really going to be under pressure to perform at the highest level.) Enough about my credentials.

Mistakes...

I am going to list some of the most annoying ones for a reader. Fixing them will definitely make your writing stronger. Here they are:

1. I know this seems ridiculously obvious BUT please use the spell checker on your computer. It will not pick up every mistake but it will reveal obvious ones. That is a good start.

   Too many spelling mistakes will destroy your credibility. People will wonder what other mistakes you make. That leads them to questioning the accuracy of your information.

2. Space your writing into easy to read paragraphs. If you are the sort of writer who just starts at the top left hand corner of the page and finishes in the bottom right hand corner of the page then you need to stop doing that. Why? The main reason is that NOBODY will read it. Nothing is more confronti
   Top Author, Speaker & Consultant Says: Real Professionals Get Paid!
   There are some wonderful artists that have created lovely and breathtaking paintings.They have produced numerous works; objects of true beauty, and many people with and without a trained eye would say they are gifted.But if they haven’t sold any of their pieces, these artists aren’t professionals.Don’t get me wrong, they’re making themselves happy, and perhaps their friends and family, and all of us would agree that they’re individuals of rare achievement.Still, they aren’t pro’s.The age old distinction applies, whether you’re

         Pennsylvania State Law
         Pennsylvania state law is a very large body of legislation covering every aspect of life. The laws of each state differ. The state law can be defined as a constitution, statute, regulation, common law or a State action having the force and effect of law. State law in the United States is passed by the state legislature and signed as law by the state governor. This at times exists in parallel or sometimes in conflict with the US Federal Law. The disputes here are often resolved by courts.State laws influence independent branches of Pennsylvania's governm

         3. Space your writing into easy to read paragraphs. If you are the sort of writer who just starts at the top left hand corner of the page and finishes in the bottom right hand corner of the page then you need to stop doing that. Why? The main reason is that NOBODY will read it. Nothing is more confronting to a reader than a massive block of unbroken text.

            See what I just did? The paragraph was getting too big. Lots of "white space" around short paragraphs is far easier to read. A dozen or so paragraphs is far easier to read than something that looks like some lawyer's horrible legal document.

            I used to place the pages at my feet, stand up, then view them for visual effect. If the paragraphs looked too chunky then I would create more "white space." Eventually I was able to do this naturally from my desk.

         4. Keep your paragraphs to one key theme. Arrange them logically. That is, present one idea per paragraph and stick to it. If you want to say something else that is not in keeping with the theme then start a new paragraph.

            Chopping and changing subjects within paragraphs makes your thoughts look jumbled. Do this and you will also lose readers. They will think they are playing a game of mental "snakes and ladders."

         5. Use short sentences. Again, see what I did? That first sentence was only three words. The next was just five. This sentence is only six words.

            Several short sentences with an occasional long sentence like this one will give variation. Short sentences are easily understood.

            If you use very long sentences people will have to go back to re-read them to understand what you are saying. Is that what you want?

         6. Never use big or unusual words when shorter or more common words will do the same job.

            Ofte
