http://peacecorpsworldwide.org/writing-right/2010/04/27/five-ways-to-overcome-writer%e2%80%99s-block/ This is a blog about business writing in its various forms. From tips and tricks to lessons learned, topics will stem from my experiences as a professional copywriter and communications consultant and ways in which those lessons can benefit my readers. Even though we are discussing business and professional writing, the blog will try to maintain a sense of humor and not take itself too seriously as we writers sometimes do :) — Cristina O'Keeffe Mon, 20 May 2013 17:35:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 http://peacecorpsworldwide.org/writing-right/2010/04/27/five-ways-to-overcome-writer%e2%80%99s-block/comment-page-1/#comment-10 Leo Cecchini Wed, 28 Apr 2010 19:20:22 +0000 http://peacecorpsworldwide.org/writing-right/?p=21#comment-10 Christina.

Do you hard copy write and then transfer to an electronic format or are you just using paper as a euphemism. Don't laugh but I did write my first two blogs on paper and then typed it up!!! I'm crazy old school... Leo - what do you mean by set to paper? Do you hard copy write and then transfer to an electronic format or are you just using paper as a euphemism.
