		<title>Tory eco-spies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This was posted on a forum in response to a plan by a political party to reveal some of the confidential data which the government holds on its citizens to other citizens, in a `green&#8217; initiative aimed at improving the environment.

		<title>Child poverty myth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At last, my quest* to discover what constitutes child poverty in Britain is over!
According to a spokeswoman for a child welfare group on my local radio station the government&#8217;s apparent failure to defeat child poverty means that in many households the parents - or more likely the parent - can&#8217;t afford to buy a computer [...]]]></description>

If you do diy jobs around your home you will probably finish up with a hole in a wall at some point, and this article explains how to fill a hole in a brick  wall

Sure, writing about how to fill a hole in a wall* isn&#8217;t very exciting, and it probably isn&#8217;t very exciting to read unless you&#8217;re desperately seeking information about how to fill a hole in a wall (some people probably are, actually), but apart from this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Writing a short how to article</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Writing this how to article is really an experiment, I want to experiment with how many words it takes to write an article about a pretty basic diy job, what kind of vocabulary to use - simple or more complex - and whether it&#8217;s a good idea to include a photograph in the article.

		<title>Writing a how to article</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Freelance writers who can write `how to&#8217; articles can make money by placing advertisements around them, but how do you write them - is there a special `how to writing style?  Are there any other problems, and if so how can they be overcome?
For the benefit of anyone who isn&#8217;t familiar with how to articles, they are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eco-fascist nightmare</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The tourists, mostly from China, watched with fascination as the British pedalled their bicycles around Trafalgar square, red-faced with exertion. Most of them looked away when a tourist tried to take their photo, but some looked at the cameras expressionlessly.   
&#8220;I suppose that&#8217;s the way the Chinese looked at us, when we tried to take a photograph [...]]]></description>

		<title>Native English writing styles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s often an obvious difference between the style of writing used by a native English writer and the writing style used by a non-native English writer, and this difference can be critical if you are  considering hiring a writer to write a sales page, press release or article for your website.
For example, a writer who [...]]]></description>

		<title>The compelling Bear Grylls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[TV and real-life adventurer Bear Grylls engages with his viewers in a pretty compelling way, maybe we can learn something from it.
He&#8217;ll be wading through a mangrove swamp in central America and will suddenly say something like this: `If you&#8217;re ever in a mangrove swamp keep a sharp lookout for crocs&#8217; etc.
The inference is clear [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nation of immigrants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


Politicians who are in favour of mass immigration sometimes advocate the argument that `we (meaning the entire population) are a nation of immigrants.&#8217;
A pro-immigration member of the British government recently used this argument and I believe that it has also been used as an argument by pro-immigration politicians in the United States. But before I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Problem story</title>

Quite often writers are fascinated by a phenomenon - by an event which is so unusual they feel they just have to write about it. They might not have a storyline to wrap around the phenomenon and they might not have any characters to wrap around it but in their view that&#8217;s irrelevant at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fluid writing style fandango</title>
		<description><![CDATA[.



One of the main aims in article writing is to write the article in a `fluid&#8217; style - in a way that makes it easy for the reader to read the article. The opposite of a fluid style could be called a `hesitant&#8217; style.
The paragraph above has (hopefully) been written in a fluid style but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Real-time story development part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[// &#8211;&#62;
This part of the series which continues from Real-time story development part 2 investigates whether writers can use dogs in a sinister and menacing sense rather than in a cute sense in their stories.
For example, in my story `The Call&#8217; the American Pastor dreams that he and his wife are besieged in the British [...]]]></description>

I didn&#8217;t choose the theme for `The Call&#8217;, it was inspired by an incident. An American Pastor had just started preaching at a local (British) church and my reaction to this was something along the lines of `I hope he isn&#8217;t wasting his time, the British aren&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

This article is the first of a series of `real-time&#8217; articles about story development, using as a model a story called `The Call&#8217; which I&#8217;m developing on the web site.

		<title>Journalism and creative writing 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[// &#8211;&#62;
In journalism and creative writing part 1 I said that journalists `scan ahead&#8217; when they are writing their stories. When they are typing one part of a sentence they are simultaneously looking at the next part of the sentence, considering which nouns, adverbs and adjectives to use in it.
But really, this was going too [...]]]></description>

		<title>Journalism and creative writing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[// &#8211;&#62;
It&#8217;s sometimes said that journalism is useful training for creative writing, because journalists have to use an economical but appealing style of English.
Economical in the sense that they are restricted to writing only a certain number of words for each story, or newspaper article, and appealing in the sense that the relatively few words [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s of our time, it&#8217;s a current issue, people are interested in it. They&#8217;re interested in the effect that it has on people that smoke, the effect that it has on their relationships and possibly in the effect that it has on society.
