The Best Writing Tip

Here is the best writing tip I know.

Before you send or share something, read it out loud. This applies to emails, social media posts, articles, and even text messages, provided they are deemed important.

Reading it out loud as if you were telling a story to a group of people is the key. When I used to read my writing aloud, I would mumble it and not use the appropriate tone or speed. I would always forget things, and some parts would still sound bad. 

I started doing this in my early days of writing. Surprisingly, I began with poetry, and unsure of my abilities, I took calculated risks to enhance it. It worked like a charm.

Writing Tips

I have been asked to write more about copywriting and developing writings skills.

Plese read https://www.quora.com/profile/Iulia-Halatz/Writing-Prompts-That-Work-For-Me-Write-as-if-your-life-depends-on-it-On-first-impression-writing-is-an-activity-like

How I started writing

Storytelling is never easy. It was easier for me as I have formal training. 
But I started writing later in my life. 

First and foremost, you must love writing and enjoy the soft caress of your story. My stories come in waves. Whenever I start writing, I feel like living in the story I am building. 
How do you do that? 
In the initial stage of my writing life, whenever I did not know what to write and how to write, I used to describe paintings. Why?
Because painters do not describe feelings, they create sentiments. Therefore, in front of a beautiful painting, I attempt to replicate the artist’s intent through my own words.
For example, I wrote a poem, “My name is green,” while looking at a Van Gogh painting.

But you can never be a good writer unless you are a passionate reader. Words create magic in the pen of astonishing writers. Education is necessary to master this power, unless you’re Shakespeare.

Nevertheless, I write for pleasure and profit. 
What could I do to make your writer’s life easier?

Are there processes, guidance, or tools you have in place to help your clients understand a wider context for your work? Or anything you would like to add to make their lives easier?

Workplace under the eucalyptus tree

My office is where my notebook is.

It is great to work from various locations, since I love traveling.
And the ideas poured in.

I’ve planned out my next three Fragrantica pieces, a cover letter, a presentation, and a pitch for a new customer. In addition, I’m considering starting a new side hustle that will enable me to travel more.

My love story with the sky

As a philologist, I am aware of books where the environment played a part and was assimilated with a character: Wessex, the imaginary county in Thomas Hardy’s novels, and in a more modernistic approach, New York in Sex and the City.

Thomas Hardy chose to set most of his work in an area he called ‘Wessex’, the name of one of the ancient Saxon kingdoms of England. The area covers mainly the South and West of the country. Here you can visit Hardy’s fictional settings such as ‘Christminster’, the Oxford of today, or ‘Melchester’, which is Salisbury, with its famous cathedral spire.

Most likely, the sky is the love of my life and the silent character, prevalent in all my days. I grew up looking up at the arabesque dance of the clouds, populated with the characters from the fairy tales I was reading incessantly. For me, and since I was a child, happiness is a bit of a sky that I truly own. During sunsets, I would sit and marvel at all the shapes and colors, thinking that my favorite fairytale characters lived in castles in the clouds or in lilac and rose gardens.

Nevertheless, I feel close to the heath in The Return of the Native in my love for the sjy.
Egdon Heath is the fictional part of Wessex (also fictional) in which The Return of the Native takes place. It is a large, uninhabited expanse covered with gorse and heather and few trees. The heath, which Hardy describes as isolated and lonely, resists civilization and is the dwelling place instead of the natural and the Celtic, pagan history of England. Edgon Heath has a way of resisting outside forces and keeping its inhabitants from leaving.

What about you? What is your secret escape realm?

What is your WHY?

This is inspired by a lovely post!

Indeed, it is good to remember our “WHYs”.
I have three of them: I try to change the world of my students through my courses; I try to create word-loaded feelings with the help of my imagination and deep soul-searching; and I am the interface between the citizens of my district and the local authorities.
All these put me in the middle of many turbulent events and deadlines, but I enjoy every imperfect moment. Sometimes, I do have some wisps of time that are so unique that I can call them perfect. I am grateful for everything I have, as well as for all the people I have met and who have taught me so much!

Another Why is to try to capture as much beauty as possible, as in the photos below taken while cycling in the mountains.

Creativity Surge Hits Everywhere

Creativity hits everywhere! Just be prepared.
There are no typical days for writers, bloggers or poets.

Here I am (in the picture) in a forest clearing in the mountains, under attack by shepherd dogs and a flock of sheep. In the last photo, you can also see the sheep.

I have answered some question about creativity and writing on Quora!

Here is another answer: How do you complete a poem in any subject matter you are interested in?

I travel with a notebook and two phones, and I am prepared for any whiff of a good idea, feeling, vision, or image that I can incorporate into my writing. 

What Is A Side Hustle?

More Companies Are Starting as Side Hustles

New data from payroll company Gusto shows that 44% of new business owners in the US launched their ventures while working part- or full-time last year. That’s up from 27% in 2022.

What is a side hustle?
It is a piece of work or a job that you get paid for doing in addition to doing your main job:

More people started selling things online during the epidemic due to a surge in entrepreneurship caused by millions being laid off after Covid-19 lockdowns. The shift to online shopping created new business opportunities, leading to a significant increase in newly established enterprises in the United States, exceeding pre-pandemic levels by over 50%. Americans’ interest in side hustles grew during the epidemic due to financial strains, prompting individuals to seek additional income sources. Factors like rising prices, financial burdens, and reduced salary increases also contributed to this trend, with generative artificial intelligence enabling individuals to manage side hustles alongside full-time jobs.

Generative artificial intelligence, like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, has made it easier for people to run side businesses while working full-time by speeding up company setup and proof of concept. While AI can serve various purposes such as marketing campaigns, video editing, graphic design, and e-commerce strategies, its effectiveness is limited and cannot fully replace human creativity.

Next, I will go over some straightforward side hustles to get started with.

Do you think AI tools will take over most SEO tasks in the future?

I have found this question on LinkedIn.

AI technologies will undoubtedly still have a significant impact on SEO in the future, but it’s improbable that they will entirely replace human SEO experts.

What AI can do well in SEO:

Data analysis: AI excels at crunching huge amounts of data, identifying patterns and trends that humans might miss. This can help with tasks like keyword research, competitor analysis, and technical SEO audits.
Content optimization: AI tools can analyze existing content and suggest improvements based on SEO best practices, ensuring it’s optimized for search engines. Some can even generate content drafts, though human editing is still crucial for quality and creativity.
Predictive modeling: AI can analyze past data to predict future trends and user behavior, allowing for more proactive SEO strategies.
Automation: AI can automate repetitive tasks like link building outreach and technical SEO maintenance, freeing up human time for strategic thinking.

What AI cannot do:

Creativity: Artificial intelligence (AI) will never be able to replace humans in creative content strategy development, user intent understanding, or audience engagement evaluations. For examaple, I can write an astounding post about the photo below or a poem.
Strategic planning: Embracing the task of establishing comprehensive SEO targets, harmonizing them with wider corporate goals, and flexibly responding to evolving algorithms calls for a keen grasp of human comprehension and astute strategic expertise.
Communication and relationship building: Business is no longer B2B but H2H (human-to-human) interaction. Engaging in outreach, skillful negotiating, and cultivating connections with partners and influencers continue to be most effectively managed by individuals.

Exciting news! Our new courses in March will delve into AI technology and its use in growing our business activities. Get ready for an enlightening journey! Stay tuned!
