7 Great Blogs That Deal With The Art Of Writing

My personal definition of writing:

Extracting thoughts from your head and clearly expressing them in writing with the utmost accuracy in a logical structure that conveys to the reader exactly the message you intended it to say.

Quite a technical definition (no effort to be poetic was made there)! I say that because, believe it or not, we writers have a lot to say about the process of writing itself.

Writing is a difficult task: from that first excruciating ordeal of finding just the right words to the frustratingly mind-numbing activity of trying to write as simply as possible so a child could understand.

If you ever considered writing for any purpose, advice from the those who came before will do more good than you’d think. Learn more than a few tips on the art of writing by reading these blogs.
