Writing for Poetry, Prose, and Documents

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again; when writing, write what you intimately know and how you speak. If you write on a topic that you are not familiar with, the reader can see the disconnect and will disconnect from your writing. However, if you write what you know well and do so in a manner that allows the reader to hear your words through your writing, they will stay connected as long as you maintain their interest. If you write about something without knowledge and passion, although passion is not always appropriate in professional documents, your readers will know that you are doing nothing more than building word count.

For personal writing, poetry and prose, have a passion for your subject and your readers will be enabled to read your words passionately.
