Inspire

When I write (whether it be technical writing, journal writing, tweeting, blogging, or any other type of writing), I write with one purpose or goal in mind. The purpose of my writing is to inspire whoever may read the content I put together on paper or on a screen. For example, by writing an instruction manual for a specific product, I want to inspire the readers so that they can use the product easily, effectively, and efficiently. When I write a blog article, I write to inspire my readers to think about many topics in different ways than they previously thought about those topics before reading my blog. In other words, being a good writer means keeping the audience in mind at all times during the writing process. In order to be a good writer, a good writer has to understand one important thing:  the audience determines the meaning of what the writer produces. As a writer, the meaning of writing does not depend on my interpretations so much, but rather, writing is audience-focused and user-centered. The ultimate question that every writer, including myself, must answer before starting any writing project is who is/are my audience/readers? Thus, I chose the word, “Inspire,” as the third word in my tagline because writing is all about who reads my writing, and when I write, I get my inspiration, ideas, and content from my reader or my hypothetical readers. That is why I have a blog  where I can interact with my readers, where I can get feedback from my readers, where readers can critique my writing projects, and where I can get diverse ideas to improve my writing and writing projects.
