Blogger or writer: what is the difference?

Prepare to stop at every beautiful place and wait for the blogger to take pictures. As bloggers who love to write we need to take pictures for the reader who wants to see pictures. Because of the internet, people want to see immediate entertainment and become entertained.

A writer likes to take in the sights and then write about them later. They like to dive deep into nature or more specifically human nature for me. No picture is necessary.

Yesterday, I went to a Verizon Store in Hilo, Hawaii to see about the Samsung laptop that can run on data. Helping us was a wonderful salesperson who really enjoyed sharing about the Verizon tablets. He did his due diligence, but he failed to understand my wife and me, the customers. When I expressed that I did not like the resolution for the tablet, he immediately started talking about another model that was lesser in price. The problem with his assessment is that we did not express that we had any issues with the price.

Through active listening, he could have perhaps found a better model to show me. My preference is to have the 2-4K resolution that I love. He could have shown us an iPad, anything that had a 2K-4K resolution. Instead, he thought that I did not want to pay $1099.00 for a tablet. If he found the same size model that cost less, the resolution would have probably been worse.

Even before we met with the salesperson, we were looking at the laptops that run mainly on 5G. In Hilo, Hawaii, there is no 5G per the previous salesperson. How does the company set these honest working salespeople for success?

My call to action: write about your experiences, tell your story, and help to create solutions in the world.

On a side note: after looking at the laptops in the store, Mauna Kea was more interesting to me than any purchases.

Adam and Eve

Stuck Adam jay-walked across the street to see what was going on in the park next to the jungle gym. And as a terrible child, he would often get into mischief by climbing up the cafeteria roof with his cousin Theo. Theo did not have any friends of his own, so Adam had to babysit Theo whenever he saw him. Today was different. The day was hot, and Adam and Theo would sit under the portables on these types of days. King Kalakaua Intermediate school was always empty in the middle of summer. Many kids hung out on the Portable stairs and smoked cigarettes. Adam was nine years old, already at that age where he already knew the difference between right and wrong. “Hey Theo, let's look around to see if we can find hiding spaces,” Adam looked around the delivery dock for the cafeteria. He was trying to find a way in. He was very skilled at getting into places he was not supposed to go into. He walked around the building looking for some clue, a doorway, or a secret passageway to get them int...

How does your main character, Stewart feel?

Now it is my turn: colours of Stewart Stewart feels emotions like excitement and enthusiasm. He goes on a field trip because he just loves museums. At first, when his teacher said, next week we will be going to a museum, he was so excited the next day that he got his clothes ready for school the night before. Stewart did not have the time to wait for no man. Stewart behaved like an education warrior. In the scene when he pricks his finger on a wooden box as in the "Dream of the Rood," he gets the feeling of actual regret because Stewart loves his friends, he loves the comradery. This love for others did make him feel afraid, afraid to do things alone. Afraid to take the risk. Afraid to be alone in the big bad world- whether it be now or in the ancient past.

Writing Routine

Another writer writes for about one to two hours in the morning. Another writer may write in the morning only like Ernest Hemmingway. A retired editor says to write four to five hours per day if you can. A USA Today bestselling author says to write four to eight hours per day until you can write twelve. Of course, I exaggerated this one a bit because this is what I will follow. Okay, so let us try this. Since it is February, I will now write two hours per day and increase it every month by one hour moving forward. The act of writing by itself will not do but rather create something from my own mind for TWO HOURS per day for now.
