The only reason for being a professional writer is that you just can't help it.-Leo Rosten


The yearning to express has compelled man to create words and develop them into literature. Expressing to communicate, record and preserve events started along with cave painting, also referred to as ideograph. But when these were realised as inadequate, alphabets which could reproduce human speech phonetically, were gradually devised. Herein lies the genesis of writing.

The earliest efforts at wrting were made in Egypt and Mesopotamia about 6000 years ago. Etchings on clay tablets called cuneiform were developed. Needless to say, all these consistently perserverant efforts owe their roots to one elementary human urge- To express, to communicate.

I'd like to borrow a quote from T.S.Eliot here "You write because you feel the need to free yourself". Well most of us if not all do like to write starting from personal diaries to award winning books. However, not all of us are born with an inbuilt ability to express effectively.Even best of literateur have had episodes where a thought or feeling came out wrong because of wrong choice of words. We ordinary mortals encounter such problems perhaps on a more frequent basis.

Sewing a string of words to build the appropriate sentence and communicate the desired message is not as difficult as it threats to be. It just takes a little patience and a strong drive to acquire the right choice of words. In this portal there are some easy tips and tricks which will help you to develop a strong vocabulary, and help you communicate and express with panache. It won't win you a Nobel Prize for literature (if you are expecting that), but will definitely get you going smooth.
