Technology Hacks

Sometimes one needs clarity. To sum things up in one word, mine was literacy. Because I have been thinking in big pictures lately and with that comes the big questions and alignment with what you are doing and why you do it. What big question do you wish to solve? By turning a problem into a question, one can seek answers. This is what I was discussing with Seann over dinner yesterday. In short and from Star Trek comes the big question: What do you want Will Riker? Sometimes one has to step back from the myriad of tasks and get a bird's eye view. Why am I talking about this with you? Good question. Because I don't know a single person that doesn't struggle with their WHY and what they are going to do in life.

The Washington Literacy Council  found  that 68% of those arrested in the U.S. ar...

I wish I knew. Maybe it's a someday I will do it! And then it never happens. So how many people do complete a book? Not as many as you would think. Some people think that you need university or creative writing training to write a book. Most don't, you know. So what is stopping you? If you had a path to travel on would that help?

  3 Writing Ingredients No matter where you are in your writing, these three ingredients if applied liberally will change your work. Word Power There is no escaping dictionary use for a wordsmith. Words are key. If you are struggling with the right word, it means your vocabulary is missing words for you to use.  A daily routine of mine is to look one word up per day. There is a technique to gaining word power with several dictionaries--young readers and a college level. Using the internet is great for sounding out the word but not for meaning as ALL the definitions are not there!  You can use the word 'define' and the word you are looking at to get a meaning but as you are going to write all kinds of different types of writing and a word has more than just a few meanings you might try the approach of making sentences with ALL the definitions. Interested in how to do this, consult with me for a half-hour and find out at wtarasoff7@gmail.com . Sentence Power There are about...
