1/26/2015

Picture of BLOGPhoto of the word BLOG.
I enjoy writing. And, whenever I am asked to write a blog for someone as a guest, I am honored and happy to do so. Guest blogging is a way for me to share my experience with readers who I may otherwise not be able to reach. I also appreciate when other writers agree to be a guest blogger for my blogs. This gives readers exposure to writers who have a lot more to share than just little old me.

Recently, I read an article from a fellow writer who offers some handy suggestions on the proper way to invite guests to write for your blog. I found the article to be extremely helpful.

If you are interested in asking others to write for your blog, you will find some helpful tips by reading:

Make Money Blogging!
I recently read a book that delivers on its promise to provide useable information about how to make money blogging. I know most writers write because they have a passion for writing. I have a passion for writing too, but if I can generate a little income from writing, I see no harm in that.

So, take a look at this book:
How To Make Money Blogging: How I Replaced My Day Job With My Blog
I feel confident that you will find some valuable tips to help you create blogs that could possibly help you make money.

Without a Trace (Rock Harbor, #1)Without a Trace by Colleen Coble
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book. Although, I have to admit that I had a little trouble keeping up with all the characters, that’s probably just me not being able to keep up. The book moved along nicely, keeping me intrigued the whole time. I enjoyed the way the author sprinkled a divine message throughout the book. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to unwind and relax with a book that reads well and ends in a way that leaves you happy you had the pleasure of reading it.

Twelve Types of Nouns and How to Use Them

1/12/2015

0 Comments

 
Most writers know the basic parts of grammar such as the subject and verb. We also know about the noun and that a noun is the name of a person, place, or thing. But do you know the noun is more complex? Do you know about the following categories of nouns?

  • Proper nouns

  • Common nouns

  • Countable nouns

  • Uncountable nouns

  • Concrete nouns

  • Abstract nouns

  • Collective nouns

  • Compound nouns

  • Adjectival nouns

  • Adverbial nouns

  • Animate nouns

  • Inanimate nouns

Since this blog is about my journey as a writer, I must admit that I had no idea that the noun could be indexed into so many categories.

Today, I read an article titled, “English Grammar: Types of Nouns.” By LindaSarhan, a HubPages Author. Linda Sarhan has a style of writing that makes learning easy. For a very comprehensive lesson about the various types of nouns and how to use these nouns effectively, I recommend reading English Grammar: Types of Nouns. You will also see examples to help you recognize each type of noun.

Please come back to let me know what you think of the article.

    Recommended Recources

    When I need answers to my writing questions, I refer to resources that have served me well as a technical writer in the past and as a freelance writer now. The following books sit on my bookshelf ready for use at my demand. When working with clients, you will need to adhere to the client’s style guide for how they want their documents to be formatted. As a freelance writer, you have the liberty of setting up your own style guide. The following resources offer excellent information on grammar and punctuation styles that are most common to writing for United States publishing standards.

    Any one or all of the following books are valuable books to have on your bookshelf at all times:

    Strunk and White's Elements of Style

    The Chicago Manual of Style

    Associated Press Stylebook
