I mostly write about what I care about. For me, that’s helping writers sharpen their writing.
It seems I often come across a number of examples of ‘grammar gripes’ that I then write about – not judgementally, but in a way that I hope gets the message across without being ‘teachy’.
And so often I need to go back to my style manual to refresh my understanding or to find out more, so I’m always learning.
I hope my passion for excellent business writing is obvious, and that I’m about helping writers.

1) What do I know best?

If my niche clear than I know the best.

2) What do I care about the most?

I should care about what people want to know or have contraction on. Thanks to Twitter who made it easy.

honestly, still need to work on 2.

The two qualification seem simple but hard to abide. I will incorporate this in my writing and see its effects.

Hey Alex,

I really enjoy your fresh thinking. It’s passionate, gritty and full of confidence. It’s great that you cared enough about the topic to go and learn more. So many people just seem to ‘go through the motions’ in their writing – and it shows. It becomes dull and boring.

Thanks for your contribution.

Best to you,

Robin

Thanks, Jimmy. I’ve never thought of writing as an ‘uncovering process’. That’s an excellent way of looking at it.

Your art is amazing! http://www.jimmykellyart.com/ I’ll be keeping a close eye on your site from now on.

Thanks for your contribution,

I agree, Dayne – especially if you are passionate about learning. That passion can then seep through the words and phrases.

Thanks for contributing,

Robin

hey Robin!!

really love things like this.

and it’s really good advice. kinda.

it took me almost 4 days to write my latest article. it usually takes me around an hour. why?

…well, mainly because i was writing about something really deep and seemingly complicated and tried to distill it into something really simple.

so i had to read a whole bunch of stuff to fill out my understanding about it. it was something i DIDN’T know a lot about to begin with. but it was something i really cared about.

interesting.

keep well mate. and thank you. really cool to have read. about to write something now so i’ll def keep in mind.

have a rocken weekend

What do I know best? How to learn. What do I care about the most? Using that information. I decide what to write about based on what I’ve learned and how I can turn it around to help other people develop on their own endeavors. Almost every single one of my blog posts is inspired by something I learned in the past or just that day.

Hi Robin,
Nice article, enjoyed it. With regards to the question ‘what do I know best?’ I’m reminded of when Saul Bellow was famously asked what he thought of some recent happening by an interviewer, and he replied ‘I don’t know, I haven’t writen about it yet’. Writing for me is an uncovering process, finding out about how I feel about certain things. Sometimes, I’m pleasantly surprised that I know more than I thought I did. Then the job of sharing that with others is the hard part. Thanks for the insights.

Sometimes the best things we can write about are the things we need to learn or implement within ourselves.

Great post Robin!

Cheers,
Dayne
