This week: Give yourself a gift

ADVERTISEMENTS

Those of us celebrating important holidays the next couple of weeks are probably thinking about gifts. Gifts are wonderful--to give and to receive--but one kind of thinking about gifts may be getting in the way of becoming a more effective writer.

Many of us have learned to believe that the ability to write well is a gift. For some writers, it surely is: the great novelist, poet, or playwright is doubtless born as much as made. But the everyday writing that you and I do--the writing that gets the world's work done--requires no special gift. As researcher Frank Smith says, "it is a mistake to regard the thinking that underlies writing as something special, as a unique kind of activity that calls for unusual efforts and abilities."


This week, give yourself a gift: the gift of confidence that writing is a process that can be managed, like any other business process. Know that you're a gifted writer and that you can manage your writing.
