Comments on: Is Personal Writing Okay? http://www.thewritersmanifesto.com/blog/2010/05/19/is-personal-writing-okay/ freelance writing by a freelance writer that works in the freelance writing field Sat, 19 May 2012 09:11:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Christopher Anderson http://www.thewritersmanifesto.com/blog/2010/05/19/is-personal-writing-okay/comment-page-1/#comment-13594 Christopher Anderson Wed, 19 May 2010 14:31:10 +0000 http://www.thewritersmanifesto.com/blog/?p=1719#comment-13594 I tend to be fairly conversational in my writings but I try not to get too personal. I might get a little more personal on my newsletter but that is used as more of an example. I tend to try and be a real person but always offer a lesson of some sort. I agree though that when you get into too much info or start talking about religion or politics you may want to back off. Even if your in the majority. I notice some marketers are like this. They come off all religious and everything. That's fine with me but I don't think it really belongs in the business area. Especially if they want me to become a lead or follower. I'm interested in what you have to offer, not what you believe in eh? It seems like things always work best with a balance. Nice post! p.s. I spy with my eye a typo ;) "send".

Are you suggesting I shouldn't be telling anyone I'm a fascist diabolist? That's going to scupper my regular blog posts for Beelzebub Monthly. “… the topics of religion and politics should be off the table.”
