Writers make mistakes, we're humans, it's what we do. When you write, the first thing you should think about is, "Why am I writing this? What message do I want to send to people?" This will help you avoid problems. There are some cases where what your writing is really good, holy even structurally sound. Unfortunately, we humans go misunderstand. If you're confused think about this: You're IMing your best friend. Like most best friends you joke around and Probably have some inside jokes. Freya and I have so many it's like we speak another language. Then you join a chat group or get on and chat with someone else. You accidentally used an inside joke that she doesn't get and is seriously offended. You didn't make a mistake, but in writing you can't use a joking tone of voice. Thus, leading to misunderstandings. It's our jobs, both as writers and as Christians to prevent and fix misunderstandings. They have potential to be destructive.
Now for the assignment. Pretend you wrote a news paper article, not saying the nicest things about the mayor. You have to write another article to make what you did right. I encourage you to use a Bible verse this week. And, as always, you may send us your story in the comments, we'll read it and you might end up praised for your awsomeness! Remember, only comments on the post or relating to the subject matter will make it onto the blog, the writing entries are looked at by us and posted by us.
