On Blogging

The Discipline of Writing

I love writing. That’s why I do the work I do. On Twitter, I describe myself in these terms:

A Christian publishing consultant with the passion and skills to assist people to communicate their message clearly and efficiently to a global audience.

Francis Bacon said, of writing, that it “maketh a precise man.” (Interestingly, he also said that reading makes “a full man” and conference–debate–makes a “ready man.”)

Perhaps I am just a little guilty of not practicing what I preach. Maybe the doctor should be healing himself (I’ve been wonderfully engaged in helping others to write, and to write well).

So, my reader friend, it’s back to blogging and not just the snippets that I have been posting on Facebook and via my Twitter feed.
