This article speaks my mind literally. Sometimes one tends to get tied within a framework, which starts hampering your thought process and kills the writing.

Thanks for the good advise. I’ll keep it in mind.

Thanks for this, it may have saved me some heartache.

Didn’t someone say “you are what you repeatedly do”? Certainly once you get into a habit it can be very hard to shift.

That applies in every area. Even my tennis coach tells us to always take proper swings at the ball, even if it’s only practice, even if it’s only the warm up before our tennis leasson. Because what you get into the habit of doing is what you’ll automatically do when you’re playing for real.

Isn’t part of the problem is the reading level in countries like America, has dropped to 5th grade level? I wouldn’t necessarily call it “dumbing down” the writing. Rather, make it easier to scan and easily understood for regular readers.

I’m also afraid this problem will only get worse. Blogging has now turned to micro-blogging (140 characters or less), and reduced even further to mere pictures (and photos) instead of words. More bite size. Requires less reading. The ultimate lazy blogging.

Thank you for your honesty and for unraveling, realistically, the difference between “Render unto Ceasar…” and “Follow your bliss.”
I am definitely a blisser, and couldn’t find Ceasar even if I wanted to do so.
