Writing Pieces and Tips For Each --> Part 1 of 2

Writing is a great and even spiritual experience.

You can bare your soul or just rant and rave about daily life and experiences.

It gives you a platform to do work 1 time, actually writing the piece and then you can talk with thousands or millions of people through your words by promoting it and then them reading it.

It is a highly efficient medium of communication.

In fact, until we get the telepathy thing down it's the most efficient.

There are so many different types of writing you can do and many have different purposes for you.

In any writing you do, before you start ask yourself, "How can I communicate to my reader the messsage I intended to in the fewest words possible"? People love brevity.

You could just be writing in your journal or the web equivalent your blog.

There your goal is to inform the person about your day or life, or convey your expertise about a topic you know or are passionate about. This writing can be very informal and even vulgar.

THen of course there is work related writing.

You write a piece for your company or a report on company metrics. Here your goal is obviously to relay relevant, pertinent company info to your superiors or co-workers. You want them to be able to see the main info at a glance and then be able to dig deeper and take more time should they need or want to read in further.

THese will most likely have many graphs, pie charts, and other pictures to convey the data.

Memos are another work related writing piece.

The goal here is to keep it to 1 page, preferrably half a page. You want it to be read by everyone you send it to. So the shorter the better while still getting your intended message across.
