The Process

There has been some breaking of the normal weekend posting schedule.  Basically, between work, want of a social life, and relaxation (or laziness as we call it in the America), blogging time dissipates.

The unfortunate factor – time is a scare resource.

Idea phase

Finding the title you want to write about takes ideas – many, many ideas.  Most ideas land in a purgatorial file folder.  These include gems that are embarrassing, inappropriate, or embarrassingly inappropriate.

Inspiration phase

Once an idea makes the roster the writing begins.  If the idea shines, inspiration flows like Bruce Lee through a kung-fu academy.  If not, it’s more like the poor soul who must tidy the aftermath.

Selection phase

Some items are written and re-written only to remain on hard drive.  Timing is based off of one part what has become before and most parts what sounds good at the moment.

Edit phase

Edit. Re-edit.  Repeat.

A key to great writing is genius.  Good writing simply requires abundant editing.  A thesaurus does not hurt either.  Or a friend.

Posting phase

Finally, something for mom to stick on her refrigerator.  A piece of opinion and experience for sharing around the world.

Hope you like it.
