Stories for you, stories for me

Tihee! Tihee! Words do tickle me!

Words play and wordplay,

Words fly and butterfly.

True wisdom rocks the ship

True wisdom rolls the blinds down.



Words fly and words die.

Eternal words die.



Thus they live forever.

Painting a Picture: Engaging the Audience

Reaction to the articles “The LittleThe Biggest Little Man in the World,” “Author Nicholas Carr: The Web Shatters Focus, Rewires Brains,” “The Networker,” and “Oprah Talks to Ellen DeGeneres”


You need a paintbrush to write. The pen is simply not enough.
Painting a picture and not merely telling is a very exceptional skill to have as a writer.
The ultimate satisfaction of writing is taking the reader with you into the minds of people, the lives of the subjects, the heart of ideas and discovery, the interesting niches of places and things.
The articles all show a great mastery of the art of painting a picture rather than telling a story. Although The Web Shatters Focus is a factual and a technical article, it employs writing and literary techniques that helps the average reader enjoy and really understand a subject as complex as the human brain and the Internet.
Overall, these articles display a wonderfully crafted structure that shows the authors’ mastery of the craft of telling a story by painting a picture and taking the reader into the story. Reading these articles left me wondering how beautiful and wonderfully awesome the world we live in. they awakened in me an inner sense of my being and a deeper appreciation of life and the diversity and beauty of the world I live in.
