What are the biggest problem bloggers and freelance writers like you and me, face in our day to day blogging or writing job – Quality of blog post or writing.
This is the biggest concern; any blogger or writer faces every day. Quality may depend on many factors like knowledge of the topic, research on the topic, data available, storytelling and ability to write.
You may be thinking, why the hell, “ability to write”, is a factor here. Here ability to write is related to, “Grammatical error free writing” and this is more important if you are a Non – Native English writer like I. Grammar is the soul of any Language. It shows the richness and diversity of language. Grammar gives us the ability to express in the correct manner in that particular language. Here English is that language.
There may be several times, you might be confused between American English and British English. For example - Favorite and Color (American English) or Favourite and Colour (British English), very simple difference but very confusing every time you go for writing.
