Things wordy, geeky, and webbyThink Forward
Friday, December 20th, 2002 at 10:51 AM |I admit that one of my bad writing habits consisted of writing passive sentences. This was back in school and college where we had to write formal, dry, and boring papers to please the professors. Since then, I’ve worked hard at killing the passivity in everything I write and edit. Granted, it’s not always easy and sometimes it feels like you’re solving a puzzle.
GrokDotCom offers suggestions on how to Think Active! Start eradicating passives from your writing and experience positive results.
