Y is for Yield

4/29/2015

Greetings, A-Zers! It’s day 25 of the 2015 A-Z blog challenge, and my theme is “The Business of Writing: A Glossary”. I know everyone is busy making rounds this month, so I’ve done my best to keep each post informative and to-the-point. :) Today’s letter is:

Y is for Yield

Loose Definition: For writers, this is the annual income from the investment of your time/money toward your career.

Put to Use

If your writing career doesn’t seem “worth it” yet, it may be time to rethink your strategy or your mindset. Think The Little Engine That Could. :)

Question of the Day

Greetings, A-Zers! It’s day 24 of the 2015 A-Z blog challenge, and my theme is “The Business of Writing: A Glossary”. I know everyone is busy making rounds this month, so I’ve done my best to keep each post informative and to-the-point. :) Today’s letter is:

X is for Xerox

Loose Definition: Xerox is a trademarked photocopying process, often mentioned by those who don’t know many X words during the A-Z Challenge

Put to Use

Xerox is a brand name that’s often used as a verb, much like Kleenex is used as a noun in place of tissue. Be mindful of this while writing.

Question of the Day

Do brand names ever sneak into your sentences?
