JDC Art of Writing: Write mystifying Content for more successful writing in any area. Know exactly what it is.

"In response to your many emails expressing your frustration and confusion of what content is...I hope the following, composed from years of business and personal writing; blogging, will provided valuable answers and encourage some outstanding writing..."

What composes content - the essence of writing? - It's the words and subject matter richly applied, that sings out to the reader entrancing and fostering one's desire to read on. It is word magic!

* I have found it to be those selective thought-provoking words, of information, vital subject matter and profuse expression and style, that leads to writing with clarity of purpose and emotional content. It is those sentences of words, that should leave a positive lasting expression even when dealing with negative issues. - Your selection of words should always elevate your writing above others showing the professional you are or can be.

* Words by themselves are dead. Words used to create content in writing are brought alive with a breath of color and play-on-words for whatever purposes designated. ... Understand what you want to say or what action you desire, and give it "life," and meaning. - In that content, anticipate your reader's questions, and needs; what you want to express and then make them feel it. ... Keep them emotionally connected and reading by using the right words.

* I try not to forget: "that writing content is the ability to satisfy the reader's expectations by design in the way any subject matter is expressed and presented from life's experiences." The frosting...is the labored research of topics, ideas, and facts that adds depth and credibility, and can add emotion and energy.

* - Content becomes much more, than just writing on a specific subject, or wanting to make a statement, or entice to action. ... It's the magic of the right words played out in the right manner, adding value, making for memorable and desired reading.

Be exact...Less actually does become more in terms of quality! Eliminate fluff. -Revise, eliminating unnecessary words and phrases. Use words that remain true to the direction and ultimate end result being sought by you...and your reader.

* How does that mystifying content emerge? It may start from the unexpected process of a couple of ideas, words, sentences, or can explode out of the subconscious in paragraph form. There are times of confusion where thoughts are vague
