The Writing Edge for Business Writers: 10/25/19

Oct 25, 2019 | Reading Lists

You’re a businessperson. You may not think of yourself as a writer, but you know that writing well can boost your results and your career. Naturally, you want to do better. Even though writing and storytelling and blogging and SEO aren’t your day job, you want to do them better.

You need to get the most value you can from your reading time. That’s why every week I pick the one post from the web’s multitudes that will help you get better. This week I’m pointing you to a post on the benefits of writing.

From Gregory Ciotti: How Writing Makes You Happier, Smarter, and More Persuasive

“When you attempt to envision a ‘writer,’ I’d posit many of you see a quirky recluse, hunched over a desk in some cabin, crumpled paper strewn about as they obsessively work on the next great American novel. To me, writing is so much more than that. Writing is thought put to page, which makes all of us writers — even if we don’t have the chops to spin beautiful prose.”

Here’s a link to my recent post titled: “Today you must have a book.” And it better be good.
