I chose to include a topic and that is – Writing in my Blog
A |
ABSTRACT |
Without the ability to be abstract, what a dull lot we would all be! I try to be as abstract as l possibly can so as to enliven my day! |
B |
BALANCE |
Ah the Beauty of Balance, something we all strive for and work to achieve, it is however for me a work in progress daily! |
C |
CURVE |
I do so love the word curve, next to cohesiveness, but also cognitive, but curvaceousness creativity, as in writing that takes shape beautifully is something l have always loved. |
D |
DARING |
I think at times we all have to dare ourselves a little bit further along, make something a little more daunting for the reader, which leads me to my next word .. |
E |
EDGY |
To put a bit more of an edge on the writing at times, push that boat out a little more, not be rude, but to make the reader think twice about something … |
F |
FLAUNTING |
As they say, if you’ve got it, flaunt it – to write at times in a provocative manner to illicit or even tease a response! |
G |
GENUINENESS |
Some people can write brilliant fiction, l can’t, but what l can do is write genuinely from the bottom of my .. |
H |
HEART |
Personally for me, l try and give a lot of my writing that certain boost, from deep within my soul, to strike a pose with my … |
I |
INDIVIDUALITY |
To my reader, to NOT be the same as everyone else, to set WRITING AND POSTS aside from the norm standard and to give an extra ooompf at times to what l write to provide more of an approach of … |
J |
JOVIALITY |
And good humour, because without humour and silliness where would be all be? So, where l can l try and display a … |
K |
KALEIDOSCOPIC |
Approach to my blog with colour, images, puzzles, music and writing. Quotes, inspiration, fun and humour, a serious side as well as to be as much .. |
L |
LIFE OF THE PARTY |
As l can, because well life is way too damn short to be completely mind numbingly serious all the time, so l endeavour to enthuse my space with as much .. |
M |
MOTIVATION |
As l can muster. Of course l don’t get it right all the time, but that is what l work towards, a form of … |
N |
NIRVANA |
Which l think ties in with seeking balance and questing for happiness. So instead of being continually pessimstic, l aim for more of an .. |
O |
OPTIMISTIC |
Approach, you know? Well that’s my overall orientation anyway. I don’t seek perfection, as l think that is a fantasy held by those who still believe in fairies in the garden, but that is not saying No to being .. |
P |
POSITIVE |
Because that allows for more enthusiasm, and motivation from others including yourself. With that kind of emotion, you can usually lift yourself out of the doldrums, and not fall victim to a form of .. |
Q |
QUIESCENT |
Which would be a nightmare and lead to a complete lack of energy, and in so doing it would deflate not just yourself, but your readers as well! However l think when blogging that you not only have a certain responsibility, but also you need to be … |
R |
RESOURCEFUL |
Enough to recognise what your readers require from you, your blog and your writing. The readers to a certain extent determine your future, through their continued .. |
S |
SUPPORT |
Which you should always be grateful for, their community spirit and willingness to engage and interact with what you post … |
T |
TRANSFORMS |
You into a very different person, a different writer, a different thinker, with your readership’s … |
U |
UNDERSTANDING |
Of who you are and it makes you rethink at times who you want to be, how you wish to be seen and read, and this in turn changes your outlook and as such should improve greatly your own .. |
V |
VERSATILITY |
With what you do, because sure we write first and foremostly for ourselves, but we write a blog to be seen, to be heard and to be read, we are here equally as much for the purpose of learning and acquiring further … |
W |
WISDOM |
Because without that guide, without the communities guide even if they are not specifically mentoring you, they are still awarding you a form of … |
X |
XENIALITY |
Which surely is why we blog and write at first to strangers who know us not from Adam or Eve? Otherwise folks, what’s the point of being here if we don’t … |
Y |
YEARN |
To learn from others, who are always whether deliberate or not our mentors. Teaching us how to become better people, better writers, better marketeers, better promoters, better authors and many a case, just basically better than we perceive ourselves to be … you see writing and blogging awards us in simpler terms a … |
