Having an accountability partner for your book writing project can be incredibly beneficial for several reasons:

Motivation: Writing a book can be a long and solitary process. Having someone to hold you accountable can provide the motivation you need to keep writing, even when you're feeling discouraged or uninspired.

Deadlines: Setting deadlines for yourself is essential, but it's easy to let them slide when there's no one holding you accountable. An accountability partner can help you stick to your deadlines and ensure that you're making progress on your book.

Feedback: An accountability partner can serve as a sounding board for your ideas and provide feedback on your writing. They can offer constructive criticism and help you identify areas for improvement, ultimately making your book stronger.

Accountability: Knowing that you have someone else counting on you to make progress on your book can make it harder to procrastinate. When you have an accountability partner, you're more likely to stay focused and dedicated to your writing goals.

Support: Writing a book can be emotionally challenging at times. Having someone to support you along the way can make the process feel less daunting. Your accountability partner can cheer you on during the highs and provide encouragement during the lows.

Last week, we signed up as an accountability partner for a new client on her bookwriting project.

You can also a DM.

We don't exactly post feedback here, not because we don't have but you know, it is what it is. 😝😛

Anyway, last night, we got this feedback from one of our old students, who enrolled for our class on Academic writing in February, 2022.

Years after, she has gone ahead to publish her dissertation.

This particular course is still available, you can check it on https://selar.co/a3jc

It is never too late to start.

DO you need help? Send us a DM.

You don't need to be the greatest writer of all time to be published.

Just make the effort to write.

A page or few paragraphs a day, makes the difference.

You can succeed!

Ps: how we are hugging people who read.

You cannot get better in writing, if you are not a reader.

There's no magic!

Read, read, and read.

11/03/2024

To get better in writing, you have to create time for reading.

Read, read, and read.

Make sure you read at least, an article this week, and write down two things you learn from the article.

It is National Proofreading Day.

Here are tips to help you proofread:

- Walk away - Proofread after an article, important email, or chapter has time to set, and you're reading it with fresh eyes.

- Do not disturb - Remove all distractions, including phones, other deadlines, traffic, noise, and interruptions.

-Learn your habits - Keep a list of your routine errors and look for those first.

-Turn off the autocorrect - When used strictly as a tool, autocorrect may be helpful. However, over time we become reliant upon it. In texts and emails, it can overcorrect our messages, creating havoc. When we're uncertain of the spelling or a word, use the dictionary.

Today, we celebrate all proofreaders, because, they are unsung heroes.

We celebrate the importance of proofreading!

Our team ensures your writing is error-free, so your message is clear and professional.

We celebrate you, all.

Intransitive verbs are action verbs that do not require a direct object to complete their meaning.

They express an action or state that does not transfer to an object.

Here are some examples:

She sleeps. (The verb "sleeps" expresses the action without requiring a direct object.)

He laughed. (The verb "laughed" expresses the action without needing a direct object.)

The flowers bloomed. (The verb "bloomed" describes the action without a direct object.)

In each example, the verb stands alone and does not transfer the action to an object.

Intransitive verbs often describe actions or states that do not involve an object being acted upon.

Does this help?

05/02/2024

Transitive verbs are action verbs that require a direct object to complete their meaning.

In other words, they transfer the action from the subject to the object. Here are some examples:

She wrote a letter. (The verb "wrote" transfers the action to the direct object "letter.")

He kicked the ball. (The verb "kicked" transfers the action to the direct object "ball.")

They built a house. (The verb "built" transfers the action to the direct object "house.")

In each example, the verb acts upon an object, completing the action.

Without the direct object, the meaning of the sentence would be incomplete.

Auxiliary, or helping, verbs assist the main verb in forming different tenses, moods, voices, and aspects. Here are some common auxiliary verbs:

To have: has, have, had

He has completed the assignment.

They had already left when I arrived.

To do: do, does, did
