So, here is my plan for this blog. I want each title to be a quote. Each post to revolve around the idea of the quote. That way I can stay on subject and not go off on one... Like Mr Shefford says: "If you don't quote, you won't achieve! To get excellence you have to know your text, know your quotes. A good essay should be dripping with quotations." And a good blog should not ramble and stick to the topic of the quote.
I quite like blogging, which surprises me, much like it surprised Jared. Heheh. If you guys get blogs, I'll read them for you :D:D It's quite nice tapping away here, being able to follow a train of thought without having to accomplish anything. My quote idea is more for direction and to keep me from following my train of thought off the edge of the cliff and into insane boredom. And on that note, here is where I sign off. "A good essay should be dripping with quotations." And a good blog should not ramble and stick to the topic of the quote.
i always did fail at quotes

ReplyDeleteIn part I can agree with what you say but while many weird and wonderful quotes exist, to base a blog on them requires a certain degree of order and rational thinking. Therefore it is often the irrational blogs with twisted logic and moments of randomness which really grasp at the creative aspect of your mind. I do however agree at the same time. Correct use of quotes can often show your intelligence and by theming an entry to that quote ensures that you don't just end up writing a page of pointless drivel as is often the case.
Sorry about the long comment but I couldn't exactly reply off topic.
