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.
One of the problems with media these days is that the audience expects instant news and analysis. Extra points ($$$) if the headline is outrageous. The old adage "think before you speak" isn't honored, neither is fact-checking nor truth.
I knew about Ceasar, but was surprised to find out how far back that dates goes when it comes to disasters. It's no wonder Shakespeare went for that date
What was advice teacher gave you. Did you listen or ignore?
HI.
I guess the best advice was "Never volunteer new information. Just answer the questions as straight forward as possible." Yes. I attempted to accomplish answers in this way. It is essential in Journalism to stick to one subject at a time since there is a lot of information out there that is not essential to explain specific subjects.
I had a writing teacher who once said you should wait 5 or 6 days then reread your work. A lot will change in that time. It is not always possible to do this but, actually helps when writing stories.
