Typos, Grammar Woes, and Your Credibility as a Blogger

A blog post is not a school paper or a newspaper article. So, if you have a few typos and grammatical errors it doesn’t really matter, right? Wrong. One of the most important things for a blogger is establishing credibility. If we really want people to read our blog and keep coming back to it, we have to be credible. There are so many factors that contribute to credibility that it’s easy for some to get lost in the shuffle. It should go without saying that we have to know what we’re writing about and present our content in the proper way. This means not spouting off generalizations or random “facts” without backing them up or explaining our reasoning. But, it’s also about how we present our content physically.

Campfire Writing: Why Stories are the Writer’s Elemental Tool

“The universe is made of stories, not of atoms.”
