Professions In Writing

By Steve Zones


With a simple grasp of the rules of written language and using them are inarguably a perfect component of getting along in the first world, there isn't always a clear understanding of just how those skills can be applied on a professional level.

As much emphasis as organized education puts upon producing content to fill up space a paper, the methods to efficiently cutting down and fine-tuning said content filling the page is not as frequently elaborated upon. Writing is often romanticized as an exercise that can be compared to a freely flowing, mental waterfall of thoughts and ideas that take shape once they're inscribed in ink; however, the full message will not take a recognizable shape all on its own.

As much as writing is an art, it is also a science; the shape that a message takes must be crafted with the same care that one would put into making a free-standing structure in woodworking or interior designing.

If a person gets familiar with the right skills in creating proper sentences with tight punctuation and formatting, then work as a specialist editor for many who don't have those skills can be to be very fulfilling.

Unfortunately, there are many who find that their writing skills have become atrophied due to the lack of application. Immersion in a belief system that all writing is a poetic way to kill time if one isn't authoring the next best-selling summer novel can be highly discouraging.

Editing, book publishing, business communication, PR, advertisement and many other fields need a team of people that are trained in how to wield the written word with practiced and reliable proficiency; if one requires time to think about these options, then mastering the essential blocks of writing cohesive, arranged and powerful pieces could possibly be the initial step to a long career of professional and personal satisfaction.
