Post-It Notes and Sellotape

This blog has recently changed purposes accidentally. I used to use it as a Writing-Journal, but since then I’ve used it as more of a place to put to do lists. I still intend to do this as I think it’s useful for getting myself organized, but I’m going to make it more themed around my school life and my personal organization, meaning this will be a ‘personal blog’ with a strong English/Philosophy/Creative Writing theme, most likely.

If you find it interesting, please feel free to follow/remain a follower, but this blog is more for myself than for followers.

"This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals—sounds that say listen to this, it is important."

This might be my favourite quote on writing ever.
