    So many people try to hide themselves behind complex words or sentences. Especially when you begin to read the bureaucratic nightmare of some companies.

    As I read the other day: the greatest gift you can do with your writing is yourself. Or something like that :D

    Hey there - I really enjoyed what you wrote, and how you wrote it. I feel like it's getting harder and harder to hear people speak with their own voice and words. I miss the quirky old web that felt much more personal than what we have today.

    "Write as you speak" is the best advice in the writing field I've ever received.

    Yes:

    So that is why I say. Be real. Write like a person. That is how your words will be unique because only you can be you.

    Your writing should reflect your thinking. You don’t need to become someone else. You have to look no further than inwards to find your words and your writing style.

      it's funny how hard this can be for a lot of folks... they think they need to be someone (entirely) different than themselves.

      nope. don't do that.
