RSSDWT Poetry Competition: First Round
All right folks, it is time to kick start the first DWT Poetry Competition. The response from our readers was fantastic, with over 150 entries!
No Talent for Writing
Persistence is far more important to a writer than talent.
The Daily Writing Tips Forum is Open Again
Back in 2008 we launched the Daily Writing Tips Forum. We wanted it to be a place where our readers would be able to discuss and exchange writing tips, going beyond what was available on the blog.
“Economic” or “Economical”?
“Economic” and “economical” are two adjectives that are frequently used interchangeably. They are clearly related but they have, strictly speaking, quite distinct meanings.
Euhemerism and the Gods
The English word “euhemerism” comes from a man named Euhemerus.
What is an “Entree”?
Critics of American English often point to the use of the word “entree” to mean the main course of a meal. Are the Americans really any more “wrong” than the French or the British?
The Past of “Pay” is “Paid”
A reader wants to know when “repayed” became an acceptable spelling for “repaid.”
Post, Entry or Article?
It feels strange to refer to blog posts as “articles.” “Articles” sounds official, proper and very old media. “Posts” is the more common word, but it demeans the quality of the writing.
