If your words selection is impressive and good then your writing can make an impact directly in the mind of a reader. The power of writing is hidden in the use of words selection.

Yep, I’ve been guilty of these more than once. Reading aloud offers a great cure. Another solution is to let 24-48 hours go by before editing.

However, don’t let fear of imperfection stop you from putting your words out there. Too many small business owners are afraid to blog or write because, “they can’t write.”

Marketers have tested copy with typos against copy without, and sometimes the typo ridden copy gets better response.

While nobody enjoys making mistakes, we all make ’em, and apparently, we relate. 🙂

I particularly hate the ‘affect’ you’ve used in line 5 of your 2nd paragraph when it should have been ‘effect’. (Effect is the noun and affect is the verb.) Another hate is when people muddle your and you’re.

I find that I add the word “that” too often. In fact, I could have left it out of the previous sentence completely and it would have been fine.
