I got tagged by Katharine for a writer’s meme.

List three things [I] believe are necessary to make writing good and powerful:

1. Write about what you want to know more of.

There is passion when writing about something you want to learn about. I find research boring, but if it’s something that interests me, things go much better, of course.

2. Proofread.

Goodness. I forget to proofread sometimes. Especially for short blog posts which should be written quickly.

3. Develop your own writing style.

I don’t want my writing to be generic riffraff. I’m on a quest to find my voice and my own writing style. I believe it’s a big factor in succeeding as a fiction writer.

Thanks, Katharine, for tagging me. =) I don’t have many people to tag here so I’ll move the tagging to another one of my blogs.

Also, Katharine and Diana, a very funny thing happened. I asked my cousin to send out my letters last December 23 or so. I thought everything was all right when to my surprise, the letters were delivered to my doorstep on January 3. It seems my cousin made a mistake and the Post Office didn’t even ask why the “from” addresses were marked USA and Russia while the “TO” addresses were marked “Philippines.”

Well, my cousin isn’t the brightest bulb in the box, but she’s all right. So after a minute’s fit of anger, I sent out the letters myself on the same day (January 3). I’ve also gotten your cards!

Panama is lovely, Katharine. My sister was enamored. She says Panama looks like a princess’ pony. LOL.

I’ll try to blog more, from now on. Thing is, I think the client I’ve gotten last December and I are a really good fit. We got a backlink from New York Times for one of the pieces I’ve written and things went from there. My workload tripled and I’m just very thankful that he’s a really nice client to work for. Problem is, I don’t have much time for anything else anymore. But I’m at the stage where I’m getting used to it. In a couple of weeks or so, I think I’ll be able to cut down the time I usually spend on my new projects.
