How would your opinion change if I told you I really drive a '93 earth friendly three-cylinder Geo Metro hatch back?
I don't drive either of these cars, but by now I'm sure you're able to see how word choice can influence your reader's opinion of your message.
Lastly, you've probably heard the writer's mantra, “show, don't tell".
This sentence puzzled me for far to long. It's actually a very easy concept to understan
Last week I sold 200 copies of my book to 20 people. They were members of the Rotary club and the expected turnout for the event was poor due to poor weather. The organizer who invites guest speakers was so distressed because they expected at least 70 members to show up. I did my best to assured him it didn’t matter.I had of course, agreed to speak with the hope of generating sales so I had to think fast and came up with this plan to maximi
Nope. Too busy. Way too tired.
This means everything you write has to appeal to the fast paced, raised on Sesame Street, weaned on MTV generation.
And as a writer, you need to deal with this reality.
But how do you do this?
Easy. Write conversationally.
Now, when you're speaking with another person, they have the benefit of watching your nonverbal communication. You wave your arms, roll your eyes, intone your voice… all these nonverbal cues clarify the message you're trying to convey.
Unfortunately, written words don't transmit nonverbal cues very easily.
That's why you must write conversationally while using absolutely every tool we can muster to make up for the lack of nonverbal communication.
Here are three of these tools:
First, as a writer, you must "word paint" your message and create as similar a message in your reader's mind as possible. This means that you must choose ultra-specific words, particularly verbs. Of course, using a few passive verbs (such as is/was/had/etc.) is inevitable.
However, whenever possible, eliminate them and replace them with a vibrant/active/visual verb. This means that a sentence such as "You are greeted" can easily transform to "Larry greets (active verb) you the minute you step in the door."
Second, you must also use ultra-specific language.
Readers cannot hear your tone of voice. They cannot observe gestures. This means that EVERY word you choose MUST carry its weight and propel your message forward.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about. What do you visualize when you read this sentence?
“I drive a car.”
Weak sentence, eh? We've probably got two very different pictures in our mind. Here's a better sentence:
I drive a red car.
Closer but I'd venture to guess that our pictures are still very different.
How's this?
I drive a cherry red 2005 Porsche 911 Turbo S. Coupe with an incredible 3.6 L. Turbo engine.
OK. Now we're probably "seeing" the same car PLUS you can infer a number of my personality traits based on this car I drive.

My affiliate sales haven't been what they usually are. I keep them informed with relevant product/site updates, and I offer incentives each month, too. I'm always available and try to answer any question promptly and professionally. What can I do to entice affiliates to feature us on their pages and bring us more clicks?Woody Allen once said, "80% of success is showing up." It sounds like you have that covered, but how about the othe

Going to the dentist can literally be a triple shot of pain. First there is the pain in your tooth. Second, there is the pain of the shot to numb the pain in your tooth. Third, and most painful of all, is the dental bill that you receive for services rendered. If you are a single person, finding an individual insurance dental plan can be a very difficult task when trying to juggle cost and treatments covered. There are a few ways to insure th

Click Through Rate (CTR).The click through rate or CTR is the percentage of click throughs that were generated from the emails.To determine the number of click throughs, the method is similar to determining the number of opens. To determine the number of click throughs, simply create a uniquely-named page to which you send the clicks, and your server logs will tell you how many times that link was clicked.

This sentence puzzled me for far to long. It's actually a very easy concept to understand.
Suppose you came across this line, "The food is cold."
This sentence doesn't draw a “word picture.” In fact, at this point, you're probably not even sure if "cold food" is a good or bad thing.
Here's a better phrase: Light dances on little ice crystals as the waiter carries your own little slice of heaven.
Or perhaps instead of saying, "The food is hot," write "Fragrant steam drifts upwards as..." well, I'm sure you get the idea.
So yes. Write conversationally, but choose ultra specific words.
This means you tighten your verbs. You won't get rid of every passive verb, and that's fine. However, you must pull every weapon out of your arsenal to make your reader see, taste, smell, hear, and feel this world you're creating.
Paint vivid word pictures and you'll connect with your readership like you never have before.
