Bloody Well Write

Perhaps it’s not that odd or freakish, but the word blog is one of those words that sounds funnier each time you say it, say, five times fast.

Blog blog blog blog blog.

Blog.

What is it? Webster’s New World College dictionary defines the noun:

A journal or diary written for public viewing on a website and consisting typically of personal reflections, commentary on current events, etc. arranged chronologically

Where’d it come from? It’s an amalgamation of “Web” (as in World Wide Web) and “log” (as in diary). Now, say that five times fast.

Web log Web log Web log Web log Web log.

Blog. Aha!

Bloody Well Write is my little language blog. It’s all my opinion, yes. It’s mostly based on research and underscores just about everything in the AP Stylebook (just about, not all, mind you). And it’s a fun, creative outlet that’s mine, all mine.

All You Create is my little “me” blog that’s recently morphed into my little new-house blog, so feel free to meander over there if you’re at all interested in watching the process of a new home being built. I’m going to attempt to chronicle the shenanigans and high-stepping acrobatics that take place in order to get it built according to our crazy ideas. Should be interesting — hopefully, not in a train wreck sort of way. The deeper you dig into this site, you’ll find repeats of Bloody Well Write posts, as well as some of my articles from Examiner (I’m their Wichita Healthy Living writer) and some other sites I’ve written for.

Happy trails!

This is just a quick entry to welcome you to the new and still-in-the-works Bloody Well Write. All the same information can still be found on this improved version, and it will remain a grammar and all-things-language-related site; only the look of it has changed. I hope you like the upgrade. It should be easier to read — shorter columns are easier on the eye. I like it a lot.

In fact, it’s very similar to my other site, All You Create, which has all the same info (grammar, language, word stuff) plus entries on other topics, such as health, food and exercise. All You Create is the place that I unload all sorts of ideas about all sorts of topics. So if you’re researching language-related stuff, visit Bloody Well Write, and if you’re in the mood to be surprised, check out All You Create. That’s my plug and I’m sticking to it.

Look for a new Bloody Well Write entry shortly. Until then, hope you all had a wonderful Green Bean Casserole Day and are ready for the holidays.

Happy trails!
