I took the text from A Beginner's Guide to Making a D*I*Y Planner and did this

Thanks, innowen, that is really fun! I can see using it to make some posters for my classroom.

Fun!

Great find innowen! This could really make some interesting covers. Thanks for the link!

Writing smoothly

Rollafool — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 05:21:28 -0400

I wish I had the exact quote with me (I'm out of town), but William Zinsser, in his book "On Writing Well," says that the more effortlessly a sentence reads, the more effort the writer put into it to get it that way.

So take heart, you're in very good company. :-)

He's the writer I try to emulate the most. It may sound corny but "On Writing Well" lives on my bedside table and I reread it at least once a year cover to cover.

Great Reminder

I've been doing my daily moleskine journaling practice for over 2 years now and kind of forgot that adding excerpts is a great addition. I'm afraid I will need to pay more attention and seek out great writing and excerpts. I find that brilliant writing and thinking cheers me up and inspires me. That's something I don't want to miss.

Masonic liturgy as an influence

Anonymous — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 20:01:38 -0400

I became a Freemason about a year ago. There's a pretty large amount to be memorized in the ritual, catechism, etc, and I've noticed that it has influenced some of my writing style. Or it can when I let it. Certain twisting of phrases or use of vocabulary that's not in the common vernacular...

There once was a man from Nantucket...

poetry

plutarcho — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:52:14 -0400

A friend of mine brings short poems to memorize during boring mandatory meetings. I always vow to do the same, but forget and end up doodling instead. Reciting poetry is wonderful but dying art.

Definitely influenced

Rocket Jones — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 02:05:34 -0400

I've never purposely done so, but I tend to write like my favorite authors. As in, I've never met a complicated sentence structure that I didn't like. :) What pains me is how natural and smooth the flow is for some writers, when each and every word of mine is a struggle.

Excellent! Thank you for these.

Rocket Jones — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 00:25:05 -0400

I agree, these are going to be fun for the whole family.
