Even if you aren’t a poet, author or blogger you’re still a writer. You write emails, documents and presentations for work, college papers and thesis, grant proposals, love notes, and on and on. Here I continue to discuss the importance of writing… and getting it right (write? 🤣). My book and website: https://www.amazon.com/dp/8182537479 https://www.kazakers.com

I found this quote and for me it nails so much about writing. It’s actually referring to life in general but it really applies to my writing and the writing I read of other poets, authors, etc. it’s just a slight variation on the theme of “do not believe everything you hear“.

Mixed and incorrect metaphors and idioms, glaring improper pronunciation of words or just making the whole dang thing up. Webster-Merriam dictionary is accepting incorrect words because they’re said so often. People aren’t paying attention or correcting their speech or writing. Does that mean they’re taking the path of least resistance? Are we dumbing down our speech and writing? I don’t mean slang or wordplay. We’ve gotten sloppy and we’re not listening. But then again will your readers or your listeners know the difference? My website and book: https://www.kazakers.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/8182537479

If you’re writing is “serious” does it necessarily mean you’re a solemn person? I have a lot of thoughts about the dark and light, funny and serious aspects of writing and where our writing comes from. I’m willing to bet a lot depends on a writer’s day-to-day life. I’ll let Monty Python wrap things up for you. My website and book: https://kazakers.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/8182537479
