Be An Excellent Reporter

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

There is a slang term that Ernest Hemingway used to quote about fraud or scams,”The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in,shockproof,shit detector.”

I try to be a good writer by doing my research,study,method and more.

Boredom is a four letter word to me and you.

Brevity helps relieve boredom.

Fact checking keeps me be honest and diligent.

I like to witness and experience much of what I write or report.

I also use as much common speech and language as I can muster to reach the most people.

To think, write and be honest, true….

Any government can have citizenship.

What does citizenship mean to you?

Do your best.

Think.

Do no harm.

Proper use of impressions.

Master Writing

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

It seems like too much confusion surrounding good writing practice exists in the digital world today.

So, producing content is for the purpose of mastering your art form.

To uncover who you are as a writer, to help you become a good writer.

Since the industry is expensive at best and the writer is fortunate at best, it is important to keep one eye on the business of your craft at all times.

A novel approach I take is creating a good practice at the best price, best product and attempt to follow successful outcomes.

I am still enjoying the free ride my enthusiasm affordability and free publishing allows me.

But I don’t deny it. I am following the money.

Keep Calm And Write On…

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

The concept is from old British propaganda.

It has become popular to use slogans and make up your own.

In the spirit of “Keep Calm and Carry On”.

Even when my muse is out to lunch.

Especially when others think I need to take a brake.

Sometimes after I throw in the towel.

During, after and before all forms of inspiration.

Till, death due we part…

Proper Use Of Impression

My writing philosophy is about being honest, authentic and using the proper use of impressions.  I also use the pilcrow as my symbol because it most closely represents my new thoughts or ideas.

I believe that is more than grammatical or structural as in “The first way to divide sentences into groups in Ancient Greek…”  To me, podcasts are representations of monologues and dialogues which also originated in Ancient Greece with the dawning of Western Civilization.

I think multimedia, in all its forms, including vids on platforms like YouTube and WordPress, are useful tools to demonstrate dialogue or plays.

It is important to recognize the advancement in knowledge through language and technology.  But to express the traditions from the past using forms and symbols that still capture thoughts and ideas that call on both individuals and groups to engage and become friends.

I hope to transmit self and ideas through argument or thought that can retain meaning and purpose through philosophy, knowledge, understanding and belief.

We all suffer from a deep need to know, understand and to be understood.

Please, become aware and support the effort.

 

My Unpredictable Element…

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

She is my rain.

I drove her like I drove the car.

I always did what was needed but it was within my limits.

I was willing to take risks but within my own experience and expertise.

So, in the public’s eyes, I was not a success,

Writing was my dream come true, everyday, in everyway.

For a job or vocation, it was adequate.

But for a thing, I was able to love it more than any other thing.

 

The Color Of Writing

Shades of contrast, description, making the invisible visible.

White, gray and black thinking,

The Plight Of Getting It Right

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Every new habit has its ups and downs,

But TV watching is a pseudonym for alcoholic without drinking in self destruct mode, but watching anything in self destruct mode!

I need to eat 3 meals a day, sleep 7 hours, work 8 hours and travel for an hour= 24 hours – 19 hours=5 hours

5 hours to live the good life each day.

But one hour is spent preparing for the next day. That leaves 4 hours watching TV.

After 50 years of viewing 4 hours a day, I have spent 20 or so years trying to change this bad habit.

Being addicted to TV 📺 is a slow suicide!

I have a plan to do something else each day. I am replacing it with playing guitar, listening to music, exercise, waking, going to the library, journaling, reading and writing, learning and much much more…

Anything but TV!

What is your poison?

Give it up.

I am one to talk.
