This week I decided to take a break from the conversation and reflect. Several ideas have started to take shape and a few practical lessons have emerged. I share them with you now.
- It is easier to write more frequently with a
consistent theme than less frequently on a whim.
-
I cannot fully know what I know about any given
thing until I write about it.
-
Many reviewers are useful; one trusted editor is
priceless.
-
Tweeting more than once about a new blog post is
not nagging or bragging.
-
The discipline of poetry reinforces the value of
concision.
-
Poetry is dialog: No one writes in a vacuum.
-
The imprint of the Creator is everywhere.
Great blog! As to #2, Augustine once said, "I am the sort of man who writes because he has made progress, and who makes progress - by writing."
ReplyDeleteGreat quote, Doug! You can't go too far wrong with Augustine. Thanks for sharing.
