RE: Writing Grit: The 5 Cs of Good Communication
I have to say I disagree with you here Trilby on the issue of Steemit writing. On the novel side, fine. When I buy a book I want it to be word perfect.
Steemit is more chatic. Mistkes are everwhere but people are ATTACKING WORDS here wit a pasion! I'd rather see that here than pefect spelling everyime with no original content.
I've seen 100's of badly spelt posts that do very well on here because they are spoken from the heart. Would we labour the rules of grammar to these people? Would this blunt their passion for the keyboard?
On here its deffo horses for courses, but in the world of novels we must all comply by the rules if we wish to be published and succed.
ATTACKS THOSE WORDS @redhens!! MH.<3
We can agree to disagree. I'm not saying that a Steemit post can't go up until it's perfect, but I think people should at least take the time to read it over once and correct any glaring errors before they publish. If it's worth my time to read it, then it should be worth their time to do that.
Now, if English isn't someone's first language, that's different.
You know I like to challenge ya Trilby ;) Yeah, not all Steemians have the grammar skills of a @redhens or a @mindhunter on here, but there are plenty of open hearts that wish to attack words on Stemit otherwise.
I did an article on preferring orignal splling mistaked wrk over non-orignal sterile work. @battleaxe is a perfect example. She loves to attack the page and I love her work despite her erroneous ways.
Hearts on sleeves and emotional connections lie beyond the rules of grammar on here ... here things are a little more chaotic and disorderly.MH<3 [Heart on sleeve with mistakes!]
P.S. I saw this and thought of you :)
