Unfortunately the camping trip I was so looking forward to had to be canceled due to bad weather. I guess sometime this summer I will go camping for sure.
Today's post has a theme, and that's writing! Writing thoughts down is important, because sometimes it helps to clarify what exactly you are thinking better if it's on paper than in your mind. See that sentence conveyed a thought, though not particularly well! So you revise the statement to make it sound more eloquent, but the thought is jotted down already so you have time to process more and ...!
Why am I writing about writing? I think my brother and I both got into this blog thing and we have used this as an opportunity to keep in touch with family and friends, to keep ourselves sane, and to practice writing more. Though sometimes I tend to write sloppily on the blog, I'm writing nonetheless! To convey a thought or image simply is perhaps the most important aspect of writing, and that does not necessarily require good grammar and sentence structure..of course it helps.
I think my parents have a lot of experience in their lives too, and it would be nice if they started a blog, or in the case of my dad, write his thoughts and post them in newspapers or magazines. Like do a monthly column. I think writing to the public and educating them this way as well as sharing your views and thoughts via writing can be just as influential and important as taking on a key position in some organization. Naturally the immediate impact is slower because there is not real decision making being done, but the broader impact on society will not be any less, especially if the thoughts are conveyed in a way that can be understood by all. This is something that is worthwhile, and might actually be a lot of fun!
