Some Random Thoughts and Observations from The Past Couple of Weeks

 It’s been a busy week, so this week’s blog post is well, random. Intentionally. It’s a sampling of thoughts and observations from over the last couple of weeks, from my little corner of the world. I hope it provides some inspiration for you to create your own journal or notebook of thoughts and observations that can feed your creativity and your writing.

Sometimes nature smells sweaty. 


A butterfly’s shadow on a morning-lit curtain


Do people proofread their messages and texts anymore? I get messages from people and it’s like a hallucinating robot typed them right before going bleep-bleep-KAPLEW!


Question starting a conversation: “What do grasshoppers taste like?”


There’s a fine line between charred and burnt.


My dog was feeling claustrophobic at the vet, and he decided to talk to everyone about it. "Uuurrwuuwh … Eeeeeraaaaawr!"


When the current regime ends, can we overhaul the internet, too?


I’m finally using more multisyllabic words, bubbling up from the basement of my brain after a rough decade for all of us. I think that’s a good sign.


------------------


Yep, that is a taster of all the places my brain can go. (And yes, my dog talks like that.) If you choose to keep a notebook of your own, focus on your perception of what you observe. You don’t necessarily need to “try to be a writer” in your notebook. Trying too hard will water down your unique sense of what you experience. Just make a record of it. You can use what you write down as points of inspiration later. 


Have a good week, and happy writing!

Happy New Year! Welcome to The Modern Wordist Blog!

This blog is for all writers, whether you are new to writing or you've been writing for years. If you choose to read this blog regularly, you will discover that I'm a person who prefers to get to the point. And I prefer honesty – kind honesty. The articles you'll find here are not meant to grab your eyeballs. I have no intention of triggering emotional roller coasters like social media scrolling does. I don't want to work you up. This will not be a blog full of angry rants. (We all know there's more than enough of that on the internet already.) My goal with this blog is to help you think. I hope to help you approach writing in ways that you may not have considered before. If you're old enough to remember life before the commercial internet, I hope to remind you of all the possibilities of  experiencing , internally and externally, in our day-to-day lives.  But no matter your age, I hope to help you rediscover the many ways of using our senses that digital life h...

Six Ways LLMs Actually Make Writing Harder

Over the past year, the majority of editing and ghostwriting projects I’ve accepted from clients were at least partially produced by an LLM (including ChatGPT and the like). And I get it. It’s so fast . You’re imagining all the hours you’re saving. Watching an LLM output text feels dizzying. Depending on your mood, you might even feel dazzled. But, as the saying goes, all that glitters is not gold. From an editorial perspective, LLMs actually create more problems in writing.   But if you’ve been drawn in, I don’t blame you. There’s no denying tech marketing is powerful. Through the pace of change, market forces, and more, we’ve been conditioned to believe that we need apps and digital tech to do everything. And because LLMs seem magical, it's easy to overlook what, to me, is the elephant in the room: for most   writing, an LLM is actually redundant.   What , you say? From the bottom of my writer and editor heart, I’m telling you it’s true. By a mile — or several — it’s s...

The Benefits of Getting Feedback *Before* You Start Writing

The biggest downside to my work as an editor comes in those moments when I have to  tell a writer that the manuscript or draft they think is done actually needs more work One way to avoid an "it needs more work” conversation and spare yourself a blow to the ego is to discuss your idea with someone before you even start writing.  In modern terms, you could call it beta testing your idea.  Who to Ask  To save time, reach out to someone who has professional writing and/or editing experience. You can do this either through a connection to someone who works in publishing, or by seeking out a freelance editor with at least a few years of experience. A mixture of education and practice builds crucial developmental and analytical muscles, and editors and experienced writers have them. If you’d rather not chat with a pro about your idea, then, at minimum, I recommend seeking out friends who read a lot.  If you have one friend who isn’t afraid to be honest wi...
