One year ago, I read very few blogs, and the thought of actually writing one made me cringe: lack of confidence, poor ideas, badly written, leaving you open to criticism. That was until John visited. He persuaded me to give it a go and I’ve never looked back. OK, so I do have poor ideas, badly expressed, however, for me it is a creative outlet that definitely beats sitting in front of French television or Sky News.
The problem is finding the time and the inspiration. I have several ideas that never make it here because I can’t see how to develop them and spin them out to a full post. That is why I have decided to add little soglets to the blog. Here is the dictionary definition:
Pronunciation “sog-lut“: a short blog post designed to provoke a short-lived emotion, usually a curve of the lip or a roll of the eyes, and to be immediately forgotten” (source, Lyon, 2008).
The advantage is that I can write a bit of nonsense quickly without having to develop it any further. The disadvantage being that I can write a bit of nonsense quickly without having to develop it any further.
So anyway, I might spew a few of these out when the spirit takes me.
