Find Your Sweet Spot

Golfers desperately seek the "sweet spot" to hit the ball for maximum accuracy. Writer's also have a "sweet spot" that takes their work to a higher, more profitable level. Here's how to find it by giving the Write Twist to golf instructions.

Mr Checkers & Cielo
Golfers mark the "sweet spot" on their drivers as the best place to hit the ball. For writer's that means creating a thesis statement as the "sweet spot" that best describes the focus of the written project. When your words hit that mark and expand on that theme, then the entire work delivers what it is intended to deliver. Miss the "sweet spot" and the words wander like a poorly hit golf ball meandering down the fairway.

Your "sweet spot" may also be the place where you write. Where are you inspired? Library - bookstore cafe - beach - busy downtown park. Your inspirational place may change depending on the type of writing you are doing at the moment.  For Mr Checkers and Cielo, our rescued parakeets, their "sweet spot" is definitely playing in the window of my office as I write.
