On my way to deliver a short writing session in Birmingham and my quiz buzzers have had to be separated like naughty school kids. They kept bashing into each other - I had to put one in my pocket but it sometimes goes off when I move and sometimes just when in fancies.
On my way to Birmingham for a writing session, and my quiz buzzers keep going off. I’ve had to separate them like naughty schoolchildren to stop them bashing into each other, but keep forgetting there’s one in my pocket and accidentally tapping it.
I'm off to Birmingham to do some training on Monday and have been busy giving all my plain English examples a Christmas twist. (December 1 is the start of Christmas, yes?)
Here's an exercise you can do to practise your writing. Find a long sentence (50/60 words) in a magazine or website. What can be said more simply, in fewer words or cut out altogether? Then rewrite it into sentences with no more than 25 words in each.
Does the thought of writing make you nervous?
Our new "Write With Confidence" workshop will help.
We’ll show you the foolproof techniques to ensure every piece of writing is a good one. We can help with grammar too.
So if you need a confidence booster - get in touch!
On my way to Bristol to deliver some writing training. Brought along six quiz buzzers which are randomly going off and startling other people in the train.
Do you say "come for a walk with Tom and me" or "come for a walk with Tom and I"? Not sure? The trick is to take away the other person. You'd say "come for a walk with me" so the answer here is "come for a walk with Tom and me." Simple!
Tautology is effectively saying the same thing twice. For example, "free gift" - it's not a gift if it isn't free so you don't need to use the extra word.
