I argue why it’s rewriting that separates good writing from generic ones. Based on my decades of writing experience, I offer a few suggestions on how to rewrite.
The Second Coming
I talk about how persistence separates the great writer from a good one. I talk about how it was a flop movie that catapulted filmmaker Ramgopal Varma to international fame.
In Defense of Passive Writing
I cite instances where passive writing is superior to the active voice. If all writers concur that an active voice is better, why is passive writing still in use? If this were such a universal truism, it begs the question as to why so much of the business writing is overwhelmingly passive. I explore this at length and find ways to navigate the politically correct maze and still convey our truth.
