Writing with Style.
What’s your writing style? Do words just flow from your mind to your fingertips? Do you like handwriting first? Do you plan your posts? Title first or last? Where do you write best?
Do I have a style? I never really thought about this. Any comments for me or gentle suggestions?
I usually use this blog to share different events and activities that I participate in or find of value. It is kind of my personal road map for recovery and --- well--- leading a healthy life!

Writing the blog was originally a way for me to reflect on what was happening, and in part a way to remember my experiences. It was also an effort to gently keep up the web development skills that I had enjoyed before I got sick. As time has gone by I have made friends with other bloggers, and now I want to participate in blogging in order to discuss our shared experiences. I am hoping that by participating in this 30 day blogging challenge I will improve my writing and blogging skills and perhaps make some new friends.

How I write my blog --
I type first using a rich text document (although not Word). This copy is for my records on my hard drive.
I always write the title first even though I may change it somewhere along the way. I use it for motivation.
I like writing my posts the day before and then schedule them for the next morning.
A Glynis-- you do your work ahead! I should follow your example because I tend to spend my life playing catch up.
I need to follow your example and back up my posts better. I have decided to print out and collect my posts from this month long challenge in a binder. It feels like if I am learning things I should have a binder to show for it! lol
I think your writing style is actually your natural voice, a little more formal than when we talk, but I can definitely tell it's you in the writing. :)
Like you, I really should plan out my posts ahead of time. I do think about what I want to write about before I sit down at the computer, but the writing of my posts is usually seat-of-the-pants kind-of writing, much like when I'm writing fiction. The muse speaks, I write! :)
