Darik Swisher replied to the topic Reader Behavior Survey in the forum Publishing & Platform 7 years, 7 months ago
Can anyone make sense of this?
If you are writing for the sole purpose of making an audience happy, I suggest copywriting for advertisements and similar. Or technical writing for a company in need of manuals, product flyers, etc.
Besides having a specific audience where you know exactly what’s expected of you (i.e., the guy who ordered the… -

One of my current stories is set in a world that has recently started making mechanical arm replacements and exosuits. they are starting to use metal because wood is not as good for making gears. the problem I’m stuck on at the moment is how do they power the arms, and how are they controlled, there’s not much point having a mechanical arm to…[Read more]

Has any one heard of scripturetyper.com
I’ve found it really useful, although saying them out loud helps a lot.In all labor there is profit, But idle chatter leads only to poverty.
