A recent conversation on this platform made me reflect on the importance of rearranging my work routine to keep up my productivity and motivation. I discovered that one essential strategy I use when planning my time for various projects each week is the power of anticipation. In my most recent Evergreen Biomedical Communications Group, LLC blog post, I explore how having something to look forward to when working on my projects boosts my productivity and helps me maintain the level of excitement I need in my life! ➡ bit.ly/3ZnbuTv Thank you, Hadley Pearce, for your post on establishing good habits that allowed me to reflect on this! #MedicalCommunication #MedicalWriting #MedicalEditing #LearnWithEvergreen #GrowWithEvergreen

How much should you say when you pitch a story idea to a health publication? Pitching is an essential part of being a health writer and involves reaching out to editors or people in charge of a publication or organization. In a previous mini blog post for Evergreen Biomedical Communications Group, LLC, I highlighted the salient points every writer should include in a pitch. ⬇ To learn more about pitching a story and preparing your health article for submission, sign up for Evergreen's Introduction to Health Writing, a self-study course.

Does adding more words improve the quality of your writing? In a previous post for Evergreen Biomedical Communications Group, LLC, I talked about how simplifying your writing can enhance clarity for your readers. You can improve clarity by: 🖍 Removing expendable words 🔁 Replacing long phrases with words that have the same meaning For more clarity and brevity content, check out my colleague's Hope Lafferty's page! #medicalwriting #medicalediting #wordusage #medicalcommunication #healthwriting #sciencewriting #LearnWithEvergreen #GrowWithEvergreen

As medical communicators, we are accustomed to using precise and specific words to deliver complex concepts.  But did you know that non-expert audiences may easily misunderstand the meaning of certain words?  As writers and editors, we need to be mindful of how our words might be interpreted. For example, if we say "error", non-expert readers may think this means "mistake". So, we may want to replace "error" with "difference from true number" instead. Sometimes, we simply can't replace a scientific term and, if this is the case, we need to clearly explain its meaning in the text. Read how you can do that in the Evergreen Biomedical Communications Group, LLC mini blog post. ⬇ #medicalwriting #medicalediting #wordusage #medicalcommunication #healthwwriting #sciencewriting

I just found out that “Psychology Today” accepted my pitch for writing a blog about vision loss. My goal for the blog is to educate the general public about blindness and low vision. Many people have misconceptions about visual impairments, including people experiencing sight loss. I will focus on providing accurate information about blindness and low vision in order to help them to better adapt to the changes. In addition, the blog will focus on helping family members to provide more effective support to those experiencing sight loss. I also will discuss issues relevant to those who have been blind since birth or childhood. My working title for the blog is : “Blindness Visible: Learning About and Adapting to Blindness and Low vision.” I will announce the publication of the first post when that occurs. But I just wanted to let my network know about what is, for me, very good news. #HealthWriting #ScienceWriting #MedicalWriting #PsychologyToday #DisabilityAwareness #blindness #LowVision #VisualImpairment #AmericanCouncilOfTheBlind #DisabilityPride #ASUAccessibilityAwarenessDayConference
