While You’re Waiting…. Go Vote! And Learn To Write Short Articles.

Yesterday I bit off a bit more than I could chew, post wise… an interview with an expert in identity, a lot of musing about plate spinning - even the “simple” posts on anonymity proved to be more time consuming than I expected. So you’ll have to wait a few more hours, at least, for an entree article. Meanwhile.. here’s some short ala carte stuff for YOU to chew on.

Lumosity’s “Name the Game” contest is in full swing. Mike and the rest of the gang at Lumosity have picked their top 4 contenders from user submissions, and its time for folks to vote on their favorite.

One of the final game-names just might be from someone you know. A blogger for instance. Like.. someone who wears a bag over their head.

And no, I’m not telling you which submission is mine! That would violate the fun.

I’m still struggling with the concept of short articles.

The trouble is that I get some of my best ideas while writing. The article then morphs to follow my developing thought process, and I end up with something resembling the Flying Spagetti Monster: Inspirational and yet… large and tangled.

So I used my free time this morning to see if I could find some help. I did: How To Write A Short Article In 500 Words Or Less.
