  • The Price of Prose

    The price of prose fascinates me. Was reading some random posts today and wondered, "Do we know how hard a certain post was for someone to write?" Some posts flow easily and smoothly. I've at times been flattered by people thinking I put a lot of time and effort into a post that was instead dashed off in 15 minutes. But other posts are a torture to write, filled with backspaces and strike-throughs, posted painfully and slowly and with a slight whimpering at what the reaction might be.

    Just a random thought. Also, I'm going to try to toss some posts onto other web-sites I belong to nowadays. The cold makes me want to write even more, and I can't stop typing. Sigh it's all vanity, and yet I keep paying (groan...ok, you knew it was coming...really, Greek, all this just to start and end the blog with the same pithy phrase...have mercy...) fine, the wages of words.

  • I wish I could always write so freely. I always have thoughts bouncing around my mind that I sometimes have trouble making concrete with a post. Now I'm expecting an epic post from you to follow this one. :P

  • How dare you bludgeon us with your grammatical greed!
    I shall spare no expense against the wage war of words.
    Your price point for prose is preposterous!

  • I couldn't help myself.

    Yeah, writing is easy. Editting is hard.
    How to phrase it just write...

  • I don't blog unless there's something pressing on my mind.  So mine are all done in haste.

  • That is the truth. Sometimes I work on a paragraph fifteen or more times. Other times, a page and submission is completed it in what seems a minute. Expereince - practice makes perfect they say.

  • LololLOLOLOLOL, you speak alien.

  • Writing is hard work, but it can also help you calm down and breathe.  Though most of the time I'm charged up after writing a post or a couple thousand words on the book...Still takes a heck of a lot more effort to write books than blogs, wonder why that is??

  • haha, once I tried to be all organized and write nicely edited posts all ahead of time and schedule them properly.... HA. now, I just write when I feel like and only give it a quick once over for typos. :)  

  • I like this

  • @Annieothergirl - haha. I just posted :) hope it makes you laugh a little.
