I am glad you enjoy my blog. Your blog led me to Bill at Dying Man's Daily Journal, and I'm enjoying it. If I could offer 3 writing tips they would be: 1. Remind yourself every day that you are of a nature to die. You're not the only one of a nature to die; all are of a nature to die. (This is actually advise the Buddha gave.) Doing this helps you make better use of your time and consider more carefully how you might invest your energy that day. Your writing improves because it's less likely to wrestle with unworthy issues. 2. Get the emotions right. Be relentlessly accurate in the emotional realm and your writing will have impact. 3. You'll attract more bees with honey than with vinegar. The web seems to be a place where people have felt license to be rude. So it's fertile ground for decency, optimism, consideration, broad-mindedness, forgiveness, and other positive character traits. Don't underestimate the power and attractiveness of a positive outlook. Thank you for tagging me. I am glad you enjoy my blog.
