There is something flat and unsatisfying about writing in a formulaic way. Academic writing. Business writing. Marketing writing. You do the work. You put the words together. You wait for pay day. As a copywriter, the least satisfying type of writing for me is when I follow some kind of template or framework. That kind of structure may reflect a “winning and proven” approach to writing an ad, landing page or sales page.

How do you make your words more powerful? How do you make your words sparkle so you ideas can burst forward? As writers, we often emulate the old masters. We study adverts by David Ogilvy and Gary Halbert. We devour the books by Hemingway and Chandler. We try to figure out why their writing is so powerful, and then apply the same techniques to our own writing.

A few weeks back, I asked a question in my newsletter. I wanted to know what people *really* needed help with writing-wise. Common themes emerged: Accountability. Encouragement. Guidance. Writing.it isn't easy for most people. Pair that with busy schedules, being our own worst critics, and not knowing what to write about, and it's easy to see why so many people opt to *NOT* write anything at all.

Today’s post is by author Heather Lanier. The problem was Jesus. He kept appearing in my poems. And not even in the way typical fans of Jesus would like. He was peculiar: silently doodling in sand, or teetering with endearing doubt, or kind-of sexy in chiseled statue-form, suspended on a human-sized cross. Christians would not dig some of this.
