Thanks for pointing out the other books, I haven't heard of them. What other books did your the journalists read? I'm interested to know. @John: Lol. Thanks for your really thoughtful comment. It really makes me feel happy to know that someone actually liked my writing! Starting this blog was a scary thing but when I get a comment like yours, it makes me want to keep going. :) @Tracey: Wow, I can't believe I inspired you. I am so happy to hear that you will get back to writing. Starting with a journal is a great idea, it really helped me. Will you update me on how your writing is going? I would love to know how you are getting on with it! @Zeus: Yes, On Writing Well, really is a great read. Thanks for pointing out the other books, I haven’t heard of them.

For a long time I have told people that I want to be a writer but something seems to hold me back. It's now obvious to me that this is fear. I do read other people's blog posts and compare myself to them and I do think that I can't write as well as they do. I am going to start a journal and take it from there. Thanks for inspiring me.

This was a very enjoyable post. I loved the way everything connected so well. I mean, I can tell you love English. I was completely engrossed throughout the entire post. You shouldn't be afraid, but instead be proud. As you said, there are no perfect writers. As long as you can properly communicate your ideas, you've nailed it. I'll be back - count on that.

It is an excellent book ! I don't know of many news journos who have not read it. Those were the days when I develop a dislike for long, superfluous sentences :) And for those of you in the business of non-fiction, another must read are the books on writing published by the Poynter Institute. ‘On Writing Well’ was a must-read text for journalists in the newsroom I used to work for, during our inhouse basic reporting course.
