| Be your personal blogging best |  |
| Al Macintyre makes a weblog report card and Phil Wolff of a klog apart asks "What is 'Good Blogging'?" | |
| Easing the fear of writing, continued | |
Hopeful news for we the fearful:
David Wertheimer: 99% of Proper Grammar is Obsolete.[via WebWord] (50 words) [dive into mark]
That reduces my list by one: | |
| Easing the fear of writing | |
McGee had been musing again: "...fear of writing is one relevant barrier to tapping knowledge in organizations...Lowering or eliminating those barriers is certainly a worthy effort." Easing the fear of writing. How could you do that? First you'd have to know what causes the fear. I can speak for myself: fear of using hillbilly grammar. Fear of speaking out of turn, upstaging my superiors. Fear of revealing something that was supposed to be confidential that I did not know was supposed to be confidential but nobody told me because to most people "its obvious what should be confidential". Fear that coworkers will discover my ignorance. (Wait a minute, everyone has some ignorance). Fear that my ignorance is much larger in scale than most of my coworkers. "These questions started rattling around with some other ideas hanging out in my head and the result grew into 'Writing comfort and thinking styles'" | |
