If You Don't Feel Strongly About It, Don't Write It.

Hi. I am doing this article as a writing assignment from Clean Cut Blog which you will find at http://cleancutblog.com/group-writing-project-what-is-your-first-rule-of-writing/ . In this assignment , we are suppose to write about what is "My First Rule Of Writing". So here goes.

My title says it all, "If You Don't Feel Strongly About It, Don't Write It". You know which of your blog articles are your best. They have strength and passion. They bring up some kind of emotion in the reader.

I know that all of the articles that I write don't do that. No blog is going to have that quality of writing every time. This is the level of perfection that, as writers, we all strive for.
From the comments that I get from my readers, I am not doing to bad. I would like to do better.
I want the reader to feel my passion and, sometimes, compassion for myself and for others who have shared my experiences. There is no better compliment that someone can pay me than to say my article brought tears to their eyes because they understood what I was saying in my article. How can I expect my readers to feel passionate about something that I wrote, if I don't feel that same passion when I am writing the article?

I write in the Spiritual Blogging niche. This may not be true for someone that writes in another niche such as computer programming or some other technical niche. If I were in another niche, I might have another #1 rule for my writing.

My goal is to have my readers feel as passionate about my subject as I do. How am I doing?
