5 Business Writing Tips From Hemingway
Copyblogger, whose blog teaches about copywriting and marketing, wrote a good piece on Writing Tips from Ernest Hemingway.
They are:
1. Use short sentences.
2. Use short paragraphs.
3. Use vigorous English - make your writing forceful.
4. Use positive words instead of negative ones - i.e. software is "stable" rather than "bug-free".
5. Write one page of masterpiece vs. 91 pages of garbage.

Hi there
As you are connected with business writing, would you be interested in reviewing one or both of my eBooks on your blog?

Hi Suze,
I would be glad to review your eBooks. I clicked on the Bookshaker.com links, and read the sales page for your books - I think that my blog readers would be interested in them.
I sent you an email to the address on your Blogger profile.

Thank you for submitting this post to Carnival Of Tips.
I think Hemingway followed the KISS method (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) Good reminder, thanks for the post!
