Me Writes Pretty Blog Post
It is Tuesday. Outside the weather is doing an excellent impersonation of winter. I have set up my laptop by the window so that I can watch the flurries of rain and the cats dancing around the puddles on the patio steps. I am feeling a lot of gratitude that I get to stay indoors and just type, type, type.
I am busy furnishing my little corner of the internet with words. Building the site turned out to be the easy part, but now I have lots of rooms that need to be filled up with so many words. I am taking it steady, one sentence at a time.
I came across this post by Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert. It functions like a miniaturised writing course that you could carry around in your pocket. I think that it might be useful for all of us engaged in the business of stringing words together. I hope you’ll find it useful:

Great post, Peter and the love the link. Spot on advice from Dilbert. Enjoy the day. Warmly, Heather
Just finished reading the shared blog post! Thank you! I like simple. Life is also simple but we complicate it somehow:)
I definitely agree, Lena. Overcomplication is something I've specialised in, but I'm trying hard to move toward the zen approach to life. Thanks for your comment. :)
I feel you. Same here. Creating the website was the easy part. Now my struggle is content. Good luck!

Great post, Peter. Love the way you put your words into what you are currently doing. Thank you for sharing the useful link. It has given me insight on how I should write. Simple and clear - Adel :)
I'm glad you found that helpful, Adel. :)
Yes, indeed because I tend to use a lot of words or 'flowery words' in my content. Now, I know that keeping simple is better in blogging because it gives a clearer view of the message that you want to impart to you readers. :)
That's a lesson I'm slowly learning. I'm currently doing another (free) online training to learn more about that. I know you're probably snowed under with all the training available here, but in case you are interested for later, that training is available here:

Thank you, Peter. This is useful and interesting. Good to know that it's free but I need to apply on or before the date specified so that I can access it. Well, I think I need to manage my time wisely and spend additional hours of studying each day. Will I have to look into it and take action as soon as I am able :)
