107,here i come.

a lot more to cover.
but i finally discovered what the elusive phrase "inverted pyramid" means!
achievement is subjective, no?

it means writing news according to the order of importance and not chronology. which suits me fine, because i can never tell a story chronologically.

hehe those who have heard enough stories from me would know.

we did this first. no no, we did that. hahaha. damn.

anyway, so there are few thing that good writing means, and there are a few things that good writers do.

basic techniques to good writing: actually got 8 la!haha. so many.

i will tell you the few that i find useful.
eliminate jargon, cliches, bureaucratese so as not to draw attention away from the focus or distract your readers.

keep sentences, simple, and basically everything simple. simplicity is the key to clarity. and clear is what you want to be if you want your message to read a mass audience.

avoid unfamiliar/foreign words.

yep and good writing is supposed to be precise, clear, modest.

good writers have four guidelines. and i am getting lazy to type or to think.

i like to block out all information after i have absorbed. i let it flow out in the exam hall.
i can liken that to something else.

heh heh heh
but no, jal wont.

well anyway, i must go on to see what makes a good lead, etc.

all the way jal!!! and everyone else!!!

just two more to go, for some of us.

all of us will perservere.

and special hugggssss for anu darling!
dun worry my dear! *hugs*
