Hidden, practicing cogitation
Hidden in the fog, warm sun shining through, the city by the bay lingers in the fog. I’m practicing cogitation: the act of thinking deeply…
What’s hidden behind the clouds is still there. What’s behind our faces, our actions and our words is sometimes hidden as well. There is silence out there, reaching out into the water. You can listen to what it has to say by just being in it.
Reminds me of a writer I see often
Does this sound familiar?
Most professionals I work with don’t have a writing problem. They have a time problem. Or a motivation problem. And sometimes a content decision problem. When you know your field well, it’s not always obvious which details to share with readers, and which only matter to you. Maybe one of these issues sounds familiar?
-Your work changes lives, but your content reads like a textbook
-You have more expertise than time
-You want to publish a book
-Your marketing sounds like everyone else
-Your pitch deck isn’t pulling its weight
-You need your complex legal, medical or technical ideas to reach everyday readers
AI, marketing and humor
Sleuthing… Sifting… Mulling… Triangulating… Cogitating… Crystalizing… Honing…
You have a business, vision and you’re using AI to get started. But you can’t quite articulate why anyone should care about your cause. That’s where I come in…
Marketing begs for attention—the promotion of services and products, with an end toward making a sale or gaining a following. I listen to and read articles and books on marketing, but many are dry material and lead to yawning…
But humor gets my attention.
Leave your readers with their own opinions
To know yet to think that one does not know is best;
Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty.
~ Lao Tzu
When ideas melt into words: Creative copywriting that inspires - freelance writer, poet, digital marketing
Which words really matter? Creative to meticulous. The ones that, together in a phrase, have multiple meanings—double entendres—depending on how they are read. I'm a freelance copywriter and a poet. I'm an online marketer and an editor. I'm a social media junkie and a web site blog developer. I'm a blogger and a journalist.
I am here because you speak to me in shapes
I wrote why am i here? already when my peace sign spoke. It was hiding then. Now as the leaves have dropped, it's louder. But now you can see it, even in a photo.
I am here still, just covered in a blanket instead.
Turning ordinary into vibrant: How?
How do you go through your days with vibrance, where each moment matters... It's an art form and one that requires a dedicated eye to presence.
Presence in the current moment, where the eye to what matters opens up. Wide.
Behind the eyes of a writer™: A series, part sixteen
In between the letters is a place. To imagine what occurs—as a word is formed, as a choice is made—is to be a step closer to being in that space.
Sentences are made of more than words. Ideas, described. Pauses, illuminated.
Let your mind wander to your creative insights
I have always asserted that it cannot be confined to a box, to a timeframe or to a large conference room filled with eager brainstormers. Creative insight does not just come to most people spontaneously—except for maybe standup comedians. It requires what I call a certain zone
Words, phrases or gestures that have multiple meanings
Does twirling your hair really mean you are nervous? Does [...] really mean something obvious? What about the source behind being late, or a silent response to a question?
Behind the eyes of a writer™: A series, part twelve
Is it a heart or mind that is captured when a story comes to live on the screen as if concocted as typed? A memory or imagery merges—paints itself across the screen as envisioned—with feelings and colors from a world that doesn’t quite exist, yet does.
One glass of wine: Wine enthusiast, wine industry expertise
The thoughts that come to me when I am into you.
Behind the eyes of a writer™: A series, part two
Write with me
... as if I'm writing you
... as if I hear only your voice.
Letting go of worries, enjoying your summer days, living your yoga
It's summertime... But just because the beach and sunshine beckon you to follow a free-spirited attitude, you can actually allow yourself to relive your yoga.
Are you able to think outside the box?
It's easy to have a grand plan for everything you do in life, along with trying to plot and control the outcome. Although it's important to advocate for yourself and your own destiny, sometimes it's better to let life just happen.
