Hey all you Hometown Bloggers! Sorry about my misunderstanding of where to post my blogs. I've got one of these Google accounts now, so I'm ready to rock...and write with all my heroic Hometown Bloggers! Here's my blog from last week, that was posted in our forum on Angel by mistake:
In my recent reading of an article put out by the OWL at Purdue Univiersity, I picked a few nifty, little tricks for writing those clear "easy-to-read" sentences needed in business writing. When one utilizes what they call the Paramedic Method, one can write the concise sentences required to stimulate the bored business client and get business done. Here are some ideas extracted:
• refrain from verbs ending in "ing" and the unconscious word "is"
• reduce the use of prepositions
• avoid overuse of any word
• tie subjects together with simple action verbs
It's amazing how many ideas and points you can make to back up the big picture of your writing just by following this method; and you'll do it in half the page space. Feel Free to the link below:
