Express your ideas by writing with Clarity and Confidence

Hey there,

Whether you’re just starting out or growing your craft, there’s something here to spark your imagination and strengthen your voice.

This Week’s Focus: Clarity & Confidence in Writing

From avoiding run-on sentences to recognising when passive voice weakens your message, let’s explore simple techniques that help you express your ideas with impact.

A confident writer knows the rules, and when to break them for style!

Mini Skill Tip for Writing

Avoid Run-On Sentences​
​
When a sentence carries more than one complete thought, break it into two shorter, clearer ones. This makes your writing crisp and easy to follow.

​
​Example: Instead of “The pan was hot my fingers got burnt.” Rewrite it as “The pan was hot. My fingers got burnt.”
