A Journal to impart knowledge and facts |
July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Wildcard Round! The Virtual Dice will pick the winner from all eligible entries, and today's prize is 5000 GPs. Simplicity. How important is that to you when you write? ![]() ![]() ![]() Simplicity is very important to writing. Clarity is created in a written work by using simple descriptive words. Long words, that are not often used, cause the reader to stumble over the meaning. Paragraphs that are very long cause the reader to wonder if there is a stopping place. You need to put across the information while the reader is interested. In an article or a story, the reader must be led along to convey your ideas. Every new subject must be presented quickly enough to hold interest and create enthusiasm for the material. You hold interest with a mixture of long and short sentences. Communication is the aim of all writing. Simplicity in written works bestows ideas. WRITE ON! apondia#1781748 apondia#1781748 |
