The Crazy Days (and Nights) of A Blogger Video

August 6, 2012 By 2 Comments

I'm not sure where this came from.  My mom sent it to me and she's not the best at sending me the source.  Anyway, this video is HI-LAR-I-OUS!!! 

If you're a blogger, you'll recognize yourself in this video more than you want to admit. Also, it has a few swear words in it.  Fair warning!

Easy Grammar Tips for Bloggers

July 20, 2012 By 3 Comments

goodgrammar (500 x 213) Easy Grammar Tips for Bloggers

 

Aren’t pet peeves the worst?  Usually, they’re something ridiculously small or stupid and they annoy the bejeezus out of you!  Dumb things like not sealing the zipper bag all the way.  Or closing the Tupperware lid all the way.  Leaving shoes in the doorway – that’s a good one, too!! 

My other major pet peeve category is spelling and grammar related.  Mainly, it’s people that use they wrong version of words like to/too/two and your/you’re.  I read a lot of blogs, and while the majority are well-written, there are some that could use some basic tips. 

Here are some quick grammar tips to file away –

To - A preposition or an adverb.  Preposition example: “We will be gone from 4:30 to 8 tonight.”  Adverb sample: “After he came to…”
Two – like the number 2, only spelled out.  Thankfully, most people have this down.
Too – Meaning also or in addition.   Example “Can Caleb come too?”

Your – possessive.  As in “That’s your suitcase.”
You’re – short for you are.  An example would be “You’re going to the mall?”

There – This can be a noun or a pronoun, as well as an adverb.  Used as a noun “We’re going to go over there.”  A pronoun “Is there a table I can use?” As an adverb “Did you see the sign over there?”
Their – possessive.  As in “That’s their suitcase.”
They’re – Short for they are.  An example is “They’re going to the mall.”

A few other tips: plural words don’t need an apostrophe before the s.  Two enters make a new paragraph.  And make sure to proofread.  Sometimes, I even read my posts out loud, so I can see what they really sound like. 

Of course, spell check is a great tool, but it doesn’t catch mistakes like using the wrong version of a word. 

What's your favorite grammar tip?

Break Out of the Blogging Rut

June 29, 2012 By 2 Comments

writing (400 x 400) Break Out of the Blogging Rut

 

How do you start a blog post?   Do you want the easy way to do it or the hard way? 

The easy way is to say “write about whatever you want.”  Welll…we all know that that doesn’t always work.  Personally, I’ve been in one of those ruts lately.  I’ve had very little motivation and it really shows.  I’ve just been busy with real life.  Yes, bloggers  have a real life, too!

How Do You Think? #nablopomo

Thinking Man (500 x 500) How Do You Think? #nablopomo

 

Do your thoughts jump around or glide?

It really depends on what I’m thinking about, and what else I have going on at the time.  It seems at times that if I’m deliberately trying to think something through and get the details nailed down, my thoughts are all over the place.  Especially if it’s a project I’ve been delaying.  Those are the absolute worst!!  However, if I’m working on a specific project, I have been known to have a brainstorming session just take over and another project works itself all the way through to completion. 

However, if I’m out driving, that’s a different story altogether.  It’s almost as if something else just takes over, and the thoughts just come pouring out.  I do some of my best thinking while I’m driving. 

 

I also find that if I need to get something hammered out, some good music helps.  If I need to really get s afew things done, I'll put on some pop or club mixes.  If I'm trying to brainstorm, I prefer something more melodic and almost folky.

Are you a jumpy thinker or a smooth thinker?
