Are you sure you can express yourself clearly, so that everybody would understand your points? Don't you think time to time you tend to underestimate the power of own words, that may be a bit confusing to other readers? I guess, these might be for some of you pretty annoying questions but lately I realized it is very important to make sense and to express the things properly. So.. here I go with my blog dedicated to this topic.
To write a sentence, no matter if it is blogging, a love letter or last will might be sometimes pretty challenging. The author should be patient when it comes to using the right words, should use bright mind and should try to come up with the clear points. Easy, right? However, it may just look like piece of cake, whereas the reality usually differs and slaps us sometimes across the face. To feel not understood just because we took something for granted and didn't bother ourself to explain the things properly, to read the questions such as: "What did you mean by this or that? " These are without doubt warning signals, which should make us think about our expressive abilities.
Ehmm... still here? Reading my blog? Good.. because it means ... either I made you reading it and was able to draw your attention (expressed myself clearly) or you are insane psycho, who reads everything and eventually doesn't know what it all was about :D
Anyway, let's move on to my question also related to the expressing yourself. Tell me: What can deffinately guarantee that people will be interested in reading your posts?
Thinking about it, I came to three important points:
1. interesting, good idea - topic,
2. clearly expressed points,
3. ability to express the things emotionally.
As for being emotional, I bet you boys/men are now a bit sceptical but I am convinced that even desire or obsession to share something is an emotional issue, don't you think so? Your own emotions you put into your writing make it more interesting, more spicy. I personally think that properly used words can make miracles and do believe me that on the contrarery the worst enemy, that can ruin everything is... time. Firstly, I hardly believe that just to sit and write something within ten minutes can be considered great work because usually such texts give impression of chaotic and confusing bullshits. Secondly, believe it or not talking from own experience, it took me even three days to write some of my emotional blogs or poems. Why so long? I do believe a good idea should grow in mind like a flower and it is really awesome process. I hardly can say to myself: "Ok, Luci, right now immediately express everything!" Of course, it is possible but again talking from own experience I know that later in some hours, suddenly a great idea I didn't realize before would pop up in my mind and I would definately regret not sharing it. So, to sum it up... being impatient can totally ruin our writing :)
The last thing I would like to share is that to read a blog, text or paper and be critical is pretty easy but to write it and show that you are good enough, capable of being understood by other readers, it is sort of art to me, so give it a try and don't hesitate to show us your abilities :-) Good luck!

Yes,writing and the ability to make understood through it it's sort of art.
While I was reading I felt the sensation as the thoughts and feelings are evolving from within me and not from Luci's. This is the sign of good writers that they express their emotions in such an impressive way that the readers feel as they are their thoughts and emotions!
Thanks for letting me share my own thoughts though expressed by Luci!
True...Emotion plays a big role in expression...The same sentence expressing with different emotions possesses different meanings.....
Of course, if we want to write something good, we should be patient. Even we have the inspiration and we write the words in a short time, we should not publish it immediately. Otherwise it would be somehow an incomplete work. Better to read it again and again, to make corrections, to add things and to see if it is understable enough. :)
As you mentioned in your blog it is so important how to choose our words in order to deliver our message in the best way, on the other hand it is also so important to read that post attentively in order to get the right message. If both reader and writer are conserned about this issue there would be less probability of misunderstanding and therefore less conflicts.
I like your sentence "you are insane psycho, who reads everything and eventually doesn't know what it all was about " because sometimes I think there were a few of them in here. LOL. Why do I think like that? Reading from some comments in here made me think of that. :D :D :D
Now I'm making some people angry with me. Tsk tsk tsk. But don't you sometimes feel the same too?
Anyway, back to your blog, you were right. Writing is indeed not a piece of cake. Being patient in our writing is worth the wait.
Great!
Thanks for the tips - we could use them. Yes, it takes a lot of time and effort to write such a blog.
