How To Write and Make A Point

Have you ever read something and thought “What’s the point?”  Have you listened to people tell a story, or explanation of  a procedure, and then notice that they made their point 10 minutes ago, but are still talking?

Talking on paper is very much like talking in person, but it does require carefully chosen words and sentences, whereas a spontaneous conversation can be flawed and much more casual. 

The words need to flow, have a rhythm, almost as if the reader “feels” like you (the writer) are in the room with them.  The point of the story needs to be introduced in a way that makes the reader want to read more.  Remember, while you should not talk “down” to the reader, you want to be clear enough with your writing to create a “picture” what you’re saying.  The reader needs to find you believeable, an expert on the topic.

Think about your subject.  How much does the reader need to know so they can understand, even if they know nothing about what you’re saying?  How much “basic” information should you begin with, and yet not bore them?  Are you teaching?  Informing?  Entertaining?  Do you need to provide drama, invoke emotions? 

It matters, as all approaches are different for each of those writing purposes, yet informing can be entertaining, and teaching can be dramatic or even scary.  Weave your story carefully.  Sometimes, you will find that your writing flows, the order requires little revision, and the topic is popular!  Other times, it’ll be a difficult struggle, but you’ll win by following basic writing steps:  Think, plan, write, re-write, edit and repeat.

As you think about these questions, write a few of your thoughts.  You don’t need to write paragraphs, just short sentences or keywords to jog your memory when the real writing begins.  Many writers will think for days, weeks or months about a topic or story they want to tell.  I know.  Months?  It seems an extraordinary length of time just to tell a story.  The point, is to not be in a hurry.  Write down some paragraphs, get it started and let it cook awhile in your mind and on the paper.  How does it sound, how does it feel, how does it taste on your tongue as you read, re-read or read aloud?  At least take a few hours and give your story time to “hatch.”

Often, a writer will think of a great phrase, a catchy and witty comment, or the perfect word while they are in strange places, such as the shower, the car, church, the grocery store, or in the middle of a conversation with someone else.

Be prepared and keep a small notebook handy because these thoughts often leave as suddenly as they come, and you’ll agonize trying to recall the perfection.

Yes, your friends might find that strange, but if they know you and your passion for writing, they’ll come to accept your “aha!” moments.

Always ask yourself before you write “What will be my main point?”  and  “Is this even of interest to anyone else?”  Don’t be overly concerned about the second question because most readers love to read about things they don’t do themselves. 

If you’re going to be writing for money on the Internet, or monetizing your website, the use of keywords are vital to the success of your site or article.  Every writer wants and needs an audience.

In that instance, reader interest is crucial.  If you hate fishing, would you read about the best fishing rod and reel to use on a fishing trip?  No. 

Write about something you’re passionate about, and check the interest on the net.  Google has keyword tools to assist you in finding topics that have large search interests, which in turn helps you make money with your visitors to your site.

Lead up to your point, make your point, and then summarize in an interesting way.  End with a punch, a short phrase, but not sentences that have nothing to do with what you’ve written.  Leave the reader feeling satisfied, as they would after a delicious meal, and have them look forward to more, like dessert!

You want them coming back again and again, to read more of what you write.  Right? 

Let the writing begin!

Writing: Topics To Write About and How

Most people who enjoy reading, never think about the labor involved, and that’s good. Writers who write, should definitely think about the labor involved and that’s good.  When the two join, in an easy comfortable partnership, the reader enjoys what the writer wrote, and never realizes the writer probably edited it 50 times.

Never forget, you are writing for the reader.  It (the writing) is not about you, though the story may well be.  Think about that.

If you are a new writer, and want to tell a story, your final version should look nothing like your first version, unless you are more talented than Shakespeare. 

What do you want to say?  About what?  Food?  Mystery?  Illness?  Pet?  Child? Love? Marriage?  Divorce?  Tell something, but remember you can’t and shouldn’t try to tell everything!  Make a point or two, and make it interesting.  Sad.  Funny.  Horrible.  But, interesting.  It’s okay to frustrate the reader during the story, with the climax of  it right around the corner, so you aren’t frustrating  them too long.  And, just like sex (which is more like writing than you may realize), more than one climax is fine, but don’t overdo a good thing. It’s not supposed to make someone think “Enough already, you had me 2 pages ago!” 

In the first stage of telling a story on paper, think about the purpose or “moral” or “message of the story.  What’s it all about?  One or two sentences should come to mind, the real heart of the tale. 

Next, how will you make it interesting, and how long will you let it be?  No one wants to read just the punchline:  “I went camping and a bear ate my tent.” 

Ok.  End of story.  Wow. 

Think about what leads up to the event, what leads up to the climax or “punchline” and what brings it to an end.

It’s got to be more than “I decided to take a break and go camping, I went, a bear ate my tent and I escaped and came home.”

But, you get the idea.  Introduce, build up, punch, and then dwindle to the end.

In the beginning of the first rough draft, just talk, tell it, get it all on paper rather like a shot gun blast, just get it down and don’t worry about spelling  or even story order or jumbled sentencing.

Read it over, cross out, and start again.  Add a few lines that make it funny or scary, take out repetitive words. 

Read it over, cross out, and start again.  Change a few words, make sure the order of events is logical and makes the story flow, tell the most important things and double check your intro and endings. 

Read it over, cross out, and start again.  Ask yourself:  Does it tell all that is important to the main idea? Do you need to take out a few sentences that don’t matter and dilute the flavor of the main event?  How about adding a few more details?  Have you made your conversation sound “real” if people are talking in the story?  If it’s a narrative, which many stories are, is it dull at any spot?

Once all the events are in order, the words are carefully chosen and mean what you want to say, check for grammar, spelling and sentence structure.

Read it slowly, cross out, and start again.  Read it aloud.  Do you like the way it sounds?  Be critical!  Make sure your paragraphs are short to medium length and readable.  Can the person reading breathe at logical intervals as they read?  Readers do pause and breathe and think and your story should allow for that, even building those pauses into the writing.

Give it to another person, have them read it silently, first, and then ask them to read it out loud while you listen.  You should, at this point, be a little sick of it by now, which is a good sign.  It’s almost ready for publication, when you’re sick of thinking about it and hearing it.

If the volunteer liked it, understood it, and laughed or took their breath in the right places, let it hit the presses! 

Revisions and editing is where great movies are made, as well as wonderful stories and casual reading.  Birth that baby, and let others coo and woo at it, and move on to the next.  Not any writing is perfect and you could always change one more word, but let it go. 

You did it, now do it again.  You’ll get better, and faster, and sometimes bogged down as time goes.  Welcome to a writer’s life.

Wondering What To Write About? How About “Manners”?

Write about a subject of interest or something you are passionate about and others will be, too!  Passion is contagious. 

Lately, I’ve noticed how stressed the average American on the ground, is.  Most businesses even seem to be affected.  Receptionists don’t look up or if they do it’s in annoyance.  Grocery store clerks shove your change and receipt at you as they command you to have a nice day.  Convenience store cashiers are pokey and ignore your outstretched hand to pay for your gas and get on your way.  People honk when you change lanes, even though your blinker has been begging for them to let you squeeze in that lane for over a mile on the highway, making you miss your turn, thank you very much.  Banks won’t change a 50 dollar bill unless you can prove citizenship and a driver’s license won’t do and could you please open up an account.  Greeters at WalMart seem irritating, or is it just me? 

The Farmer’s Market is selling over-ripe fruit and my local favorite restaurant has become less favored, as they have cut quality of food to soup kitchen level, or maybe soup kitchens are better?  Current reason we still go is due to a few friendly servers, a rare commodity.  Those servers have confided that their paychecks are 3 weeks behind, you know, that $2.33 hourly wage they get. 

Ok, now that we’re all depressed, what do we do about it?  When I was growing up, my brother had an annoying habit of whistling.  It was his way of cheering himself up, and it worked, but it ticked me off to a level of deadly anger.  I always have been sensitive to sound, and though I enjoy cheer, whistling isn’t there for me.

However, the point of bringing up the whistle, is that we all have the power and dare I say the responsibility to put on a cheerful outside self and make the day a little brighter for another.  Geeze, Louise, get over “it.”  I could tell you stories that would make you cry, but why?  How about some manners?  My mother talked repeatedly about how you couldn’t air your dirty laundry to the world and expect people not to turn up their noses. 

Let’s try some old-fashioned, country-style, “Y’all come back now, hear?” manners.  It’s not hard, and comes with a nice extra bonus of feeling a little better, yourself. 

Go stand in front of the mirror and see if you can find your smile.  If it looks like old money, work on it.  Say “thank you,” and not through gritted teeth.  Let someone merge in front of you in traffic.  Smile.  Look at the WalMart greeter who’s feet are probably killing her, and say “Nice to see you, today.”  Smile.  Tell the bank teller you will “go buy a pack of mints at the grocery store to break the fifty, and no thanks, I’ve already placed my million I was saving to open an account with your bank in rebuilding Wall Street.  Just doing my part to save the economy so, I can’t spare a dime to open up my 50th bank account in town to break a $50.  It pains me, not to be able to help your bank in their time of need, but it’s true.”  Smile.  Hug your kids, look the tired grocery clerk in the eye and say “I appreciate you.  I bet you’ve worked hard today.”  Smile.

See, the day is better already, all it took was a few manners.  I think it’s a contagious disease, but it’s ok, we can stand a new virus of good feelings.  Write about it!  Spread it around.

Start Writing – Quick Tips!

Writing, even the thought of it, can be overwhelming. If you have a passion for story-telling, or if you know something others may be interested in, you can start writing today!.

The readers want to read short paragraphs about topics that are interesting, instructive, not too wordy, and reader-friendly.

Here are some quick tips to get started writing:

  1. Include white space. Think 4 – 5 sentences per paragraph.
  2. Avoid beginning sentences with “And.” “but”, Therefore, however, and furthermore.” Frequent use of these words are boring.
  3. Show your passion, but avoid expletives like “Wow! shazammm!  Boom, Bang, Yippee!” 
  4. Keep punctuation simple, but don’t even worry about it during your first draft.  In fact, don’t concern yourself with any of the above instructions until you get to the edit stage, but DO edit.
  5. Edit more than once.  First, take out the “wordiness” that just fills up the page with clutter.  Second edit should be checking for grammar and sentence structure.  Last edit should check for spelling and all of the above, “one more time.”
  6. Write down short words to trigger your memory.  If the story or procedure is difficult, write the order of how you want to tell it.  Keep it simple.  An outline should not be more complicated than the actual writing, though many times it is.  Unless you’re writing the great novel, keep it all simple and interesting.
  7. Make sure you have quiet.  If you’re rocking the baby and chopping vegetables, and doing laundry, the writing will be choppy and unfocused.  Believe me, people can tell if you’ve even read what you wrote and you should, maybe 50 times before you publish it.
  8. Have someone else read it to see if they understand the story and don’t get mad if they don’t.  Taking criticism is hard, but if you think strangers won’t rip what you said apart, think again.
  9. Writing is talking, but requires much more structure than a one on one conversation with others. 
  10. Don’t over due structure to the point of losing the punch line, or the joy of the story. 
  11. Bonus tip:  Have a point, build up to it, and once you’ve summarized briefly or said a closing statement, which can often be just a few words, stop.  The baby is born.  Don’t oversell it.

See?  (There are a few punctuation and spelling errors in this writing, can you find them?)

How To Go Green, Simply

Simple things you can do everyday in the home: 

Shorten your shower by just 2 minutes.  Turing the shower water off 2 minutes earlier than normal will save 10 gallons of water and that adds up considerably.  You want to make a difference in our planet’s water resources?  If all of us saved just one gallon of water from our daily shower, in one year it would equal t times the amount of freshwater taken from the Greak Lakes everyday.  The Great Lakes are the world’s largest source of freshwater…now  isn’t that something you’d like to help protect? 

Think Big by forming small habits.

Thermostats

Just One Degree- Up  In the Summer, and Down in the Winter could save nearly $100 per year on heating and cooling costs for your home.  Adjust a bit more, and save more!  How about a 10 billion dollar savings?  If we all just turned the dial down in the winter and up in the summer, we’d still be comfortable with a few clothing adjustments.  

The savings would be so large, to envision it, think of fuel for everyone in a state the size of Iowa for one year, free!

Recycle

We hear this all the time but it’s huge!!  Before you toss it, think about who could use it, or what could it be turned into??  Plus, if we just separated out our paper, plastic and glass from the trash, along with a bin for the aluminum products, the amount of waste sent to landfills would be decreased by 75%.  75%!! 

Right now,  our national waste would fill up the state of Pennsylvania.

 Hey, I’ve got an idea, since Texas is talking recession, maybe we could turn the state into a waste area…sorry, just spouting off about dump grounds, and thought of Texas, Bush, you know how it is.

No?  Well, where do you want your 4.5 pounds of daily trash to go?

We have to do something, folks.  We can’t just ignore the planet. 

Did You Know:  Americans are using at least w times as much water and energy per person as anyone else in the world.  That’s a pretty big problem considering the resources seem to be drying up.  What shall we do when there isn’t enough to go around anymore? 

Talk about a war.

Candles In Our Lives

In some communities, around the holidays there exists a tradition of lighting the driveways and walkways with luminaria.  From brown sacks, to milk jugs, to the more debonair, candlelight can be a breathtaking experience as you drive or walk along the streets and pathways.

For me, candles are a part of my everyday life.  They set me at ease after a hectic day, calm me, energize me, relax me.  Filling my home with enticing smells and light, I have become addicted to the charm of candles.

Candles transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.  Beginning with a solitary candle atop one’s first birthday cake, candles figure prominently in our lives.  We use them to make special occasions, decorate our homes, and to add a touch of romance to everyday life. 

Although candles remain important in our modern lives, it’s hard to imagine the vital role candlelight played in the daily lives of our ancestors.  The only glimpse we get is when our electricity goes out in a storm.  Although flashlights are an easier way to break the darkness, most of us still have a stash of candle stubs ready to light, just in case of a power outage.  One candle can make a world of difference on a dark and storym night.

Imagine what it was like when candles were one of the few sources of light.  Then, the day-to-day schedules that most people kept followed the move ment of the sun.  During the long, cold nights of winter, lighting a candle did more than light the night.  It made people more productive and allowed entertainment to continue way past sundown – candlelight challenged the forces of nature, if only for a little while.  It’s no accident, therefore, that our most beloved and traditional holidays, such as Christmas, Chanukah, and Halloween, revolve around candlelight.

Since Roman days, beeswax has been the most sought after candle-making ingredient.  This soft, sticky honey by-product burns clean and long and has a lovely aroma.  But beeswax has always come with a hefty price tag, so most people were forced to seek out alternatives, or simply did without.

From the Middle Ages onward, candles for the masses were made from tallow, rendered animal fat, which was melted and poured into metal molds.  When available, some whale fat or vegetable fat was added to improve the quality of the candle.  Tallow may have put candlelight within reach, but there was a catch.  Although an improvement on sitting in darkness, these candles gave off an unpleasant odor and left a greasy residue.

Candles made of vegetable waxes, such as bayberry, popular in colonial America, and carnauba wax, used in Brazil, were much preferred to tallow candles.  They had the advantage of natural color and scent, but were unfortuantely difficult to produce on a large scale.  So candles made from these waxes were saved for special occasions.

Then in the 1800s, it was discovered that adding stearin, a naturally occurring fatty acid, to tallow enhanced candle hardness, lengthened burn time, and reduced the problem of odor and residue.  Not long afterwards, paraffin wax was developed as a by-product of the evolving petroleum industry.  By combining man-made ingredients with natural waxes, such as beeswax and bayberry, candles at last became a pleasant and affordable source of light for eeryone. 

The prevalence of candles, however, hasn’t diminshed the sense of luxury and romance we feel whenever we light them.  In this age of neon lights and cities that never sleep, candlelight still signifies mystery and miracles.  Perhaps it is because of the technological age that we live in that candlelight has become more precious, harkening back to simpler, less fast-paced times.

Handmade candles are even more special.  Just like a hand-sewn quilt or home-baked bread, handmade candles exude the personality of their maker and the quality of their ingredients.  Making candles is also a great escape from today’s high-tech world.  Candle-making can be a solitary process, a quiet time with your thoughts and your creativity, or you can get together with friends and inspire each other to even greater heights of ingenuity.

Best of all, handmade candles aren’t difficult to make, some of the recipes I’ve discovered are superbly easy.  Others take a bit more skill and patience; but not much. 

I’ve included on this site a few basic instructions and recipes…enjoy the candles that you make, and scent them according to your own tastes!  How scentfully-delicious!

Tea Time

Did you know that the residents of the British Isles have enjoyed their morning cup of bright, invigorating English Breakfast tea for as long as anyone can remember?

Many people love to add cream and sugar to their morning tea.  Others squeeze a drop of lemon for extra refreshing flavor and zip!

The Birth of Tea

Nearly five thousand years ago, Emperor Shen Nung sat in his palace gardens and contemplated a beautiful afternoon.  A gust of wind suddenly appeared, tearing some bright green leaves from a handsome tree.  Shen Nung watched as the leaves floated down like feathers and landed in his cup of hot water.  Taking the cup in his hands, he immediately noticed the delicate scent of the leaf-infused water.  Shen Nung raised the cup to his lips and took a curious sip, and the beverage known forever after as “tea” was born!

Which tea do you like best?  Many herbs are delicioius when brewed and can either energize you or calm you down, or even help you sleep! 

Enjoy your special brew!

Tip:  Brewing tea consists of being patient enough to not get your water too hot, taking the temperature right below boiling, and then letting your tea leaves steep for at least 5 minutes before sipping.  Don’t forget a crunchy cookie to go along with your tea time!

The Money Pitt – Don’t Buy That House!

House for sale?  Don’t buy that house!  First time home buyers and those who are leaping before looking should think about these issues:

As home prices fall, wouldn’t it be loverly if you could get full information on any house you might buy?  Not every state requires sellers to reveal potential problems and owners who find surprises in their new homes are often out of luck, and stuck!

Consider these home buying experiences:

  • In the 90′s Trendmaker Homes built houses atop an old oil refinery.  Residents complained of skin and respiratory problems, their dogs died, and sludge seeped from their lawns.  Ooey gooey goo was everywhere.  Some owners who took the builder to court in 2002 were forced into arbitration and won nothing.  Who wants to be tied up in court for years while your bucks are sucked up by the Money Pitt?
  • KB Home build a new subdivision on a former Navy bombing range in North Texas in 1999.  In 2005, 260 bombs were removed from owner’s lawns.  Residents have been stuck in an arbitration process that in Texas tends to favor the developer.
  • In 1999, an Ohio family had its new house inspected before moving in, but failed to check for bats.  Once they were moved in, they began to hear night noises.  Soon, the bats began to screech and scratch inside the walls at night.  Too bad for the owners, they’d bought the house “as is.”  Talk about “going batty!” 

Buyer beware, don’t be swindled with all the property available now!
