    A Must Read on Writing

    Posted by: Cory Miller | Comments (2)

    One of the best books on writing I’ve ever read is William Zinsser’s “On Writing Well”– now in a 30th anniversary edition.

    Zinsser is a true writer’s coach, helping you to write clear, concise sentences that communicate effectively. I’ve read his book a number of times and went back to specific chapters to sharpen my memory on his advice.

    Some specific chapters worth noting include:

  • Simplicity
  • Clutter
  • Style
  • The Audience
  • Unity
  • Bits & Pieces
  • Writing About People: The Interview
  • Writing about Places: The Travel Article
  • Writing About Yourself: The Memoir
  • The Sound of Your Voice
  • The Tyranny of the Final Product

    Zinsser writes what he preaches. Throughout the book, you’ll see examples of “writing well” that will do nothing but make you better.

    For less than $11, this resource is excellent for pastors seeking to better communicate through writing.

    Pastor and prolific blogger Steve McCoy has created a new blog to “love the city” of Woodstock, Ill. Check out how he has designed the blog with links to important city functions and events, news and great photos.

    This is an excellent example of using the Internet to be “missional.”

    Get a free Blogger.com hosted account, write regularly on your city and use it as a platform to share the Gospel.
