Oh my gosh, how many times have I heard the advice "write like you speak"?
(So many, that if I had a spoon for every time I heard it, I'd never run out of teaspoons again. What happens to teaspoons? Where do they go?)
Anyway.
In today's video, I ramble on about why writing like you speak is dumb and leads to badly written books.
Tune in to hear me rant about:
- Why real-life speech kills the flow of your writing
- The difference between listening and reading
- One quick tip to help you tighten up your writing and make it more interesting
Enjoy!
