Hi, I'm Julie and I'm one of REW's writers. I'm starting this thread because of the URL below, but thought it would be better if it was open to everybody's contributions of great writing advice from around the web.

Today's installment will be a link from BloodhoundBlog.com:

How we say_What we say_Is Important

At first glance this may seem kinda "woo-woo" to some, but I think it says a lot about the importance of passion in your writing. People recognize passion and interest and feeling in someone's literature even if it doesn't have the greatest spelling and grammar in the world. You can always clean up your spelling and grammar; you cannot clean up your work to reflect an interest you don't feel.

This isn't to say that you CAN'T write about something that bores you to tears and do well at it. You're not going to write the Great [insert country here] Article every single time you set out and not everyone is looking to read such. It definitely helps, though, if you can find an angle that sparks a bit of interest and creativity.

Write the way you speak. Not only is it going to be easier to express yourself, it will be easier to create articles that people will want to read. Run the spell check later; now is the time to find out what really interests you that you can write about to gain not only Google's attention, but the attention of people looking for someone they can place their trust in when it comes to properties they hope to buy or sell.
