I still enjoy writing in many geners so it's still down to the thought process.Rebecca A Emrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157030856692233491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174266383583383820.post-13616185035219682382009-06-19T13:22:25.412-07:002009-06-19T13:22:25.412-07:00Quite profound statements, Ms. Lona-Lee.

Don't you think most writers have a "favourite" genre, one in which they feel comfortable working and the form of which resonates somehow? I always admired Erma Bombeck for her ability to bring humour and philosophy to the most mundane situations, but then life is one long chain of mundane situations that taken together are the fabric of most of our lives. Not quite measuring it out in coffee spoons, more like metres of cloth, some of which are more colourful and comfortable than others.Ms Lona-Lee Harthttp://mslona-leehartdating-diary.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174266383583383820.post-31926963772407459132009-06-19T05:30:04.092-07:002009-06-19T05:30:04.092-07:00@BeckyJoie- thanks for the compliment.@BeckyJoie- thanks for the compliment.Damaria Sennehttp://www.onelovesouthernafrica.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174266383583383820.post-46089798664237839532009-06-17T11:13:09.626-07:002009-06-17T11:13:09.626-07:00Damaria, that tends to be how I write essays as we...Damaria, that tends to be how I write essays as well. Once in a while, a word prompt will spark an essay but usually it is motivated by a personal or morality issue. But you do express your views well--at least in the venues I have seen. You reflect power and poise in your presentation, which is my opinion is a good combination.<br /><br />JoJo, you do write just about everything, from comedy to practical advice, parenting help, and your area of expertise-communication. I admire your capability. I wanna be just like you when I grow up.

Usually it's a parenting/women/life issue. <br /><br />I rarely write researched articles with sources on these subjects, and essays serve as an outlet for me to express my views.Damaria Sennehttp://damariasenne.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174266383583383820.post-29624714233181977712009-06-16T15:02:01.881-07:002009-06-16T15:02:01.881-07:00I don't write essays but I can relate to writi...I don't write essays but I can relate to writing about everything and anything. I do that. Some things get turned into an article, some a book, some sit half finished and some just have a skeleton. Some article pieces eventually get used in a book and some books get absorbed by others, gobbled up by a similar topic that struck my fancy or caught my attention. <br /><br />Keep at it! You'll find your niche!Rich and JoJo Tabareshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742131136597093858noreply@blogger.com
