Mindbump

"Do you spend too much time on the internet? What should you be doing right now instead of blogging?"

Was tinkering with my 

bookmark manager,

happily unearthing ageing bookmarks.

Then I found this goldmine

Mindbump

And their blog prompt for the day

is very befitting!

I should be packing, organizing, sorting

 and generally nagpapamudmod

ng mga kalat at gamit ko today.

Pero inatake ako ng procrastination kaya

eto nagneopets, facebook

at nag-blog na lang ako.

How I wish may 1 week pa ako

to settle everything

but no

I only have 6 days.

Kilos na!

In Praise of Brevity

In Praise of Brevity

It has often been said

there's so much to be read,

you never can cram

all those words in your head.

So the writer who breeds

more words than he needs

is making a chore

for the reader who reads.

That's why my belief is

the briefer the brief is

the greater the sigh

of the reader's relief is.

And that's why your books

have such power and strength.

You publish with shorth!

(Shorth is better than length.)

Best Writing Exercise I Ever Had

This is the best writing exercise 

I ever had.

We were just prompted to

write non-stop for several

minutes about anything.

Then we were asked to

organize our thoughts into something

readable like an essay.

I ended up with this.

With wrong punctuation and

misspelled words and

grammar errors.

I miss school,

but as I have said earlier,

its time to toughen up!

No more marshmallows!
