Selling the sizzle. Not the steak. Quickly. Succintly. Timely. Getting it said as if words cost money.
Don't you do a better job getting your
point across when there is a limit on the space to do so? Broadcasters have a short window to create the news at the top of the hour. Without fanfare, the news story has to be introduced or expanded on with a minimum of wordage, footage, production process. Do you blog this way or think out loud and just the row after row spill out the words as they spark in your brain and transmit to your finger tips? Do you blog by yourself, or are you in the room with the reader? Are you thinking one person scanning these words somewhere halfway across the globe in a one on one fashion? Or are you picturing being center stage with millions enthralled on your blog topic, your comment? The message is more than the subject. It is the delivery, the words and images carefully selected like reaching for the right club approaching that next hole dictated by where the ball is, what your strengths or weaknesses are as a writer and your time frame to create or respond on line. Or do you have different styles when you are blogging on a real estate subject than you do when you are showing your personal side or writing a community piece?
Is your blogging like music genres..a little hip hop on a Friday when you just left a closing and the blues when a sale has not happened at the interval you were used to? See subject. Make post. Stand back and see reaction. How do you blog? Short, quick sentences? Long rambling prose? Not really sure but it just flows spontaneously? Communication is the
carrier frequency that the words ride on like a broadcast signal. In a sea of bloggers, what is your unique style to get your point made, to convey your sentiments or insight regardless of the subject? Maybe just more images that say more than words and everyone sees something filtered thru their life lenses?

I think that one person can definitely have many different styles of writing depending on the situation. Just like no one property appeals to everyone, neither does one writing style. Great post.
