WHAT DID I DO ON CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR …

I AM still working on those pieces.

I will post as soon as I am done … another writing exercise that you can do to.

Just as an aside, a few days ago I downloaded some nice video clips from ted.com.

One of them was about a young mother encouraging people to blog.

Mena Trott (2006) had some very interesting things on the exercise of blogging.

Some people blog for a bit more money and are doing well too.

Others do it to share their experiences and in the process urge others to be courageous and venture into worthwhile stuff – stuff they would not be able to do without proper encouragement.

Then there are others who share because it enlightens and refreshes them.

Trott tells the story of a cancer patient who passed the last moments of life blogging.

A relative later said the experience had relieved the patient.

Blogging is writing and writing can refresh oneself.

I hope you all the best in your writing ventures in 2014.

Go one more step up … or two more … or ten more.

You never know where that will take you.

Cheers.
