HAWMC Day #15: Writing with Style. What’s your writing style? Do words just flow from your mind to your fingertips? Do you like handwriting first? Do you plan your posts? Title first or last? Where do you write best?
When I write, words just flow. I can’t imagine handwriting first, planning my posts, or being anything other than off-the-cuff from on-the-couch.
I do my writing spur of the moment because I feel like it’s more natural, more real. I want my readers to feel like I’m talking to them, because I am! Otherwise, I always feel like it’s stilted and impersonal.
I did plan menus during the Whole 46, so I guess you could say that I planned entries for a while. And I have planned to get through the whole Tao de Ching, so that’s planned. Hey! Look, Ma! Organization!
I guess that means there’s a little bit of both in here. Just like life. Yeehaw.
Speaking of life, it’s going pretty well. Today we’re celebrating Adam’s 33rd birthday with friends and family, at a champagne brunch in the city. (ooh la la!) That means that as much as I’d rather keep blogging and sitting online, it’s time to put the shine on this diamond and get cleaned up!
I hope everyone is having a good weekend!
In It For The Parking 
So glad you are having fun and a great Sunday.
I was a journalism major. I always expressed my thoughts on to paper. I will never forget and be forever grateful for liquid paper and typewriter error sticks.
Today’s computers with word processing programs afford you a great luxury. That is the beauty if having cut, paste, back space and delete keys! They are wonderful. 🙂 Now you can think right onto the page and manipulate the sentences and paragraphs, in the event, you want to re-arrange your thoughts. It is all good!
Writing without a backspace key: the concept blows my mind, Mom. 🙂 I hope you keep writing in a journal on your computer. It makes all the difference in the world for me.
I’m also commenting to let you know what a terrific discovery my princess went through browsing your web page. She discovered several pieces, with the inclusion of how it is like to possess an ideal coaching heart to have certain people without problems know precisely various specialized topics. You undoubtedly did more than our expected results. Many thanks for rendering those precious, healthy, educational and even fun thoughts on this topic to Ethel.
