Wrong Reasons to Write
THE WRONG REASONS TO WRITE
WE WRITE FOR THE WRONG REASONS.
- To impress the boss (Look at all the problems I found!)
- For a CYA (The memo-to-file: "It's off my
desk. Don't blame me!")
- To transfer a monkey (Sibling twin of CYA but
exposes someone else's posterior)
- To force something to be done ("You wouldn't
listen, so now read this!")
- To vent anger or other emotion (Rarely
accomplishes what the writer wants)
- To show off literary skills (Believes quantity
equals quality)
- To obtain a superior performance review
(Temptation to embellish responsibilities)
