Recently, I’ve focused on the creative craft of language and communication. Knowing what to say is important, but knowing how to say it and what not to say is also crucial. It can be the difference between informing and inspiring. Along this kick, I’ve mentioned writing at multiple levels and sources of inspiration.
Now, I want to share some short insights from some people I solicited in the Twitter community:
Good writing is…
Meg Fowler
is that which delights, annoys, inspires, impassions, entertains, challenges… or otherwise demands a response.
BL Ochman
is clear communication of thought with flair, artfulness, heart, good grammar, talent, and skill
Rob La Gesse
“alive”
Nedra Weinreich
…is like one of those wooden 3-D puzzles that fits together sequentially and tightly, locking together into a perfect whole.
They were limited to 140 characters or less. In the comments below, feel free to expound, rebut, reclassify, or answer the question in your own manner. Good writing is..?
