Looking at the other side

writing

I'm dubious.

Writing a short post everyday is definitely better than writing a long one once in a while. For me, at least.

Some topics, however, require more words and don't quite fit the style of these daily posts where I casually share random stuff.

Also, the topics are currently very diverse. I wonder if I should focus on one or two topics at the time. Trying to limit the topics for a period of time, say a quartile, might be a good idea.

These are the writing thoughts entertaining my mind these days.

Succinctness requires thoughtfulness and time.

Focus on delivering the core message, clearly.

Useless ideas should not be there.

Knowledge and skills are necessary to understand what is the core message and how to covey it.

Take the time to know the receiving end. Without such knowledge, you will never know what to say and how to say it.

Use words to the utmost of your ability. Be clear, kind, and honest.

If you can't write succinctly. Throw it away, and start all over again.

Take your time, do not rush.

Convoluted and thoughtless words do more harm than a prolonged silence.

I've seen many abhorrently absurd ads on YouTube, but the worst, by far, comes from one where a lady claims you can start a successful online business selling ebooks on Amazon without having to write a single line.

Self-awareness is useful, it is something I try to develop in my own life. Be more aware of my feelings and emotions, of my body, my surroundings, of the hidden relationships and subtlest interactions between feelings, body, and surroundings.

Now, I need to learn how to use it properly. It is unacceptable to spent so many hours pressing keys, my hands demand learning new dexterities.
