articulate

what level of language do people need in order to become a writer

the internet and blogging have given us all the chance to put our thoughts and opinions into words and a lot of people have taken that opportunity and put it to good use

other people have not

almost everyone who has even a basic education can write something

but what is it that makes an article interesting

is it content

is it vocabulary

is it presentation

is there a formula or set of rules that people can follow to create a well written blog or news piece

i write because i enjoy writing

i dont claim to be an expert in literay prose or journalism but i hope that the things i write are easy to read and interest you enough to come back every so often to check for updates

i am much better at communicating via the written word than the spoken but at the same time i am saddened by the growing reliance on text messages and instant messaging that the worlds youth seem to have

i used to know the home phone numbers of all my friends and my own home and had to call each one in turn when plans were made or changed

now we can type out a short message and send to a group of contacts

omw c u l8r

is there a place left in the world for novelists story writers and people who like to paint pictures with words

i certainly hope so

the sky is burning
ash falls on broken bodies
consuming the world

haiku

sunlight in windows
young hearts are always dancing
bringing happiness
