Greetings!

Wow, time flies. So much so that it is almost embarrassing to begin writing again. I think it is time for this blog to be upgraded into something so much more. Until now it has essentially been a dumping ground for all my abstract thoughts and ideas. I believe it is time to streamline this online forum into something much more streamline, consistent, and intellectual in content.

Keep an eye out for new changes, it will be nice bring this blog out from obscurity. Time to blow of the dust, brush off the cobwebs and make it shiny.

See you soon!

What Makes A Good Writer?

Assuming a writer has grasped the fundamental pre-requisites of grammar, vocabulary and syntax, he or she needs to possess the linguistic dexterity and subject knowledge in order to provide a coherent, comprehensive piece of literature. Ultimately a writer acts as a communicative medium from writer to reader through their craft, thus the content of the writing must be engaging at a personal level. It is quite possible that the material that the writer is addressing has been covered before by some other writer or academic, however that does render the task redundant as the allure of a writer lies in their own interpretation on things. That interpretation is a reflection of a writer’s personality, therefore quite often the qualities attributed to a good writer stems from a quirky or entertaining personality. Further, I often find that a writer’s genuine enthusiasm for literature and language, and whatever they write about helps to grant them the title of being a good writer.
