So, I’m writing a letter to my sister today. I only have one, she is younger than me and is one of the easiest people to love in the whole world.
I think she’ll really enjoy getting an actual letter, stamps and all, instead of only chatting and mailing each other. In a way, I think it sucks that we don’t keep in touch with people “manually” anymore.
Then again, progress. We love it people!
It is beautiful outside here. For me, my mood greatly affects my ability to write something so I’m quite pleased. I feel like a sun cell-battery operated robot. Supercharge!
Logging the fifth hour writing an editorial on conformist tendencies in a democracy. Sounds heavy, it is not.
Don’t believe me?
So far I’m mostly reasoning around blockbusting movies…
Logged an hour of passtime-poetry manual writing today. In the sun, sitting in a park.
It was wonderful.
Writing infuriatingly boring and long work related emails doesn’t count as logging hours, right?
Right.
I have made a decision to actively increase the portion of my writing I do manually; with a notepad and pen or pencil.
I say that like there is an existing portion, or at least one big enough that it “counts”.
There’s neither.
I think this decision spawned from a discussion I had with my father. We both agreed that, although more practical and easier to distribute, writing “digitally” can reduce the amount of focus you channel into your writing.
Also, when transferring your “old school”-work to the digital world you get a chance to process it again in a different medium, in a different state of mind.
Plus, it’ll look super legit.
Third hour, still grinding the speech. Finally done and relatively satisfied with the result. Off to the gallows with it. (ie sent to the administrator for review)
Somewhere between the second and third logged hour I took time to watch the second half of Barcelona-Chelsea in the CL-semis.
Then I wrote a limerick describing this most joyous event that is a Barcelona loss:
A nerve-wrecking clash at Camp Nou
Left the hometeam crying “Boo hoo!”
Cause after Terry’s assault,
and Barcelona’s onslaught
Fernando Torres FINALLY came through
I ended up logging yet another hour into the speech. the element of on stage-presentation acquires that you visualize your words in pictures and movies, a rather time consuming process.
Test and pictures go so well together though. One could surely not argue with the fact that a picture says a thousand words.
However, I do believe that certain words or combinations of them can say more than their numeral value as well.
The charm lies in the message, not the text.
I guess the text portion of this page counts as writing, but not really.
I’m spending my first hour writing a speech for a banquet that is the concluding event of a series of days circled around marketing and communication.
Historically I’ve found that the spoken word is just as important to develop to improve one’s ability to write.
A good first hour and hopefully a good speech.
Allow me to answer with a question: robosaurs or dinobots?
