Writing Like Shakespeare
Journal Writing I like to write outside, in nature, with pen and paper. Always, when I am outside, I am motivated to write. Listening to the birds, the wind as it whistles through the trees, the sound of crickets or even dogs barking, makes me take notice of the world around me. It is only my job as a writer to record what I see and hear and when I am outside, it’s not likely to happen behind a computer. I bring a journal with me when I go to the park, for a walk around the neighborhood or on a ten-mile hike. Pen and paper are the bare bones essential tools of good writing. Writers wrote with them for centuries before the typewriter, computer or AI were invented. Imagine Shakespeare writing all those brilliant plays with pen and paper. How laborious, we think. That would take forever, by our standards, and it did. We simply don’t have the patience for that kind of time and effort. Many people writing today probably would not do it if they had to use pen and paper and yet, people did it back then. There will always be writers lifting their voices regardless of the tools used to produce work.

Birds: Builders Inspiration
Bullet trains, football players, and airplane turbulence seem worlds apart. Yet, they may share one intriguing solution: birds! With around 10,800 species, every bird occupies its unique niche in the ecosystem. Birds have evolved fascinating forms for various functions. Take the osprey, for example. It has reversible toes and spiny feet, perfect for catching slick fish without dropping them. The American coot has an odd combination of duck and chicken features, making it all-terrain and avoiding the duck's waddle. Then there's the shoebill stork, boasting an oversized beak that can tackle lungfish, lizards, and even young crocodiles!

The Performance Paradox
Seeking feedback? Consider this: feedback is a crucial aspect of the performance evaluation process, yet it is inherently fraught with bias and shaped heavily by the circumstances under which it is delivered and who it is delivered by. While feedback can motivate employees, clarify expectations, and drive growth, it must be understood that the process is far from objective.

Let's look at what human copywriting really is, why it matters, and how you can tap into its power.

The Secret To My Inspiration
Introduction This week I have not found it easy to write and I was wondering why that was. I was even thinking that I might have to just give up writing. If I did, I am not sure what I would do, but on the train home today I was feeling quite despondent about it. I have just come back from a wonderful holiday so I should be full of ideas, shouldn't I?
