Writing is a gift that I thank God for everytime I sit in
front of my keyboard. In a zone of thoughts and expressions, I get
carried away with the imagination of letting my fingertips talk for me. Sometimes
I can’t keep up with what my mind wants me to type, so I keep a little book and
a pen for when things strike me. Anyone who knows me knows that I keep filling
the pages up with stuff that I’d piece together later. I’m thankful for blogging which gives me the ability to express myself, even when all I
have is an audience of one. When you read what I come up with, it’s after
careful study and editing over and over again before I release it to you. Some
readers have fallen off because they say the writings are a bit too much
for them to consume. Albeit good writing, people judge it based on how long it
is. I think it’s a little unfair but instead of complaining, it got me to
thinking. I make no apologies for it but I needed a challenge, and the hamster wheel in my head wouldn’t stop turning
until I narrowed the ideas down. The hardest thing for me to do is put my
thoughts down for others to read. It’s even harder to do when all you have are
300 words to capture the thought and explain it well enough for people while
giving room for others to formulate an opinion of their own. Once a week, my
challenge is to bring you my chronicles briefly and concisely, while still
being as funny and informative as I can…all in 300 words or less. This should
be just the motivation needed to challenge myself and still cater to all the readers.
And for those of you keeping count, the above paragraph was
exactly 300 words, so stay tuned…
