January isn’t even over yet and I can already see that 2010 is going to be a HUGE year. One of the things that I’m very excited about is that I’m going to get spend most of my time helping people improve their writing. This is a move that’s been four years in the making and I’m excited that it’s finally here.
The coolest part of this shift (for me) may be the marketing. I have been trying to explain to companies for years that marketing is no longer a matter of spin. For a person or company to market effectively value must be provided in every interaction. This value is provided by good content. When I talk about this subject I get a lot of smiles and head nods. But very few people implement. That’s what I get to do with good words (right order) http://www.goodwordsrightorder.com — I get to make great content that helps people with their writing. After all, product demonstration is the best kind of advertising.

So, in lieu of a post or a podcast, I offer to you the first of what I hope will be many e-books on writing, “The Road to Hell is Paved with Adverbs.”
I just watched your YouTube preview of the NC lecture in March, and read “The Road to Hell is Paved with Adverbs.”
In that short time, perhaps 20 minutes, I feel you comunicated enough material to eliminate 453 hours I wasted in school not learning “good” english.
I’m 62. I taught myself over the years to be a better writer using three tools, a thesaurus, the delete key, and my brain. But, it was hard work and I did not have a clue as why it worked. Now I do. Thanks!
