Writing Tips
Hit More Home Runs as a Writer
A GREAT baseball player gets on base 30% of the time
Are you tired of striking out? Do you step up to the plate to hit a home run, only to whiff and walk away defeated? Would you love to be the hero of the game but instead feel like you lost the World Series?
In this article, I’m offering an analogy on writing, I’ll investigate two of my posts that failed, and I’ll promote and investigate three other writers’ posts. I’ll also talk about this new publication and a contest/project I’d like you to join.
I’m talking about writing using a baseball analogy, so let me talk about baseball a little (for anyone reading and not understanding the metaphor). Hopefully, afterward, you will be able to hit more writing home runs.
Batter’s Up — A Brief Overview of Baseball
