Looking for Writing Tips?
 PRSA NEW Chapter member Rachel Lom recently suggested a great blog for anyone who is looking for practical tips to improve their writing. Written by Daphne Gray-Grant, aka "The Publication Coach," the blog gets e-mailed once a week and promises to take three minutes or less to read.
According to Rachel, "The blog offers really good tips, and Daphne is a funny and engaging writer. For instance, last week, she talked about the importance of breaking projects into small pieces. She claims anyone can write 300 words a day. She even put that number into perspective by sharing stats on how many words the average person writes in e-mails and on social networking sites each day. It made 300 words seem WAY less intimidating."
In fact, Ms. Gray-Grant just posted something on a new webinar series she is putting together on "How to Get Your Book Published" for anyone who might have the itch to write a book but is too overwhelmed by the publishing process. Check it out.
Then click on FREE NEWSLETTER on the left panel.
If you have an interesting blog, Web site, or other resource you'd like to share, please e-mail Cassie Wenzel at ckwenzel@integrysgroup.com and put "Newsletter idea" in the subject line.
