Writing not only communicates ideas, but for the budding or full-fledged writer should display an art. The expressed thoughts of a writer should be something that catches the eye and imagination of the reader. Often, I fall prey to bad habits and end up with sentences that are cumbersome, dry, or just flat-out meaningless.
There are tools that I subscribe to which help spice up my prose and poetry. These tools include reading the material of other writers, such as blogs, articles and tweets. Signing up for various sites that discuss the art of the wordsmith gives me inspiration and ideas to change things up a bit.
As I compose my prose, the first thoughts that enter my mind tend to be pretty basic so my focus becomes grooming and dressing up these mental images. Even with a topic such as "writing styles" can be flared up a bit. Here are a couple of articles that are sure to help you turn your phrases into masterpieces.
