About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

On Writing duringThese Times
Prompt:
Use these words in your entry today: circumvent, gullible, voracity, timeless, upstyle and writing. Have fun!
-------------
Words are the backbone of communication, a powerful tool to inform, persuade, and express. Thus, writing is an art that uses words as its medium. The voracity of our present information age, however, poses challenges, requiring writers to circumvent pitfalls and engage a potentially gullible readers.
In the same vein, writing has been used as a timeless skill from the earliest cave paintings to the modern blog posts, and in order to survive today's new challenges, the writers need to upstyle their approaches to cater to a changing audience.
The way I see it, truth is always the way to go. Misleading, false information, unresearched or badly researched facts, and no fact-checking may have dire consequences, be it for a professional journalist or a casual blogger.
Then, do we even consider who reads what we write? If we don't, we should, for this is why today's readers have shorter attention spans. Yet, who can blame them when they are bombarded with a constant stream of iffy content! The remedy can be found in telling the truth, even when writing fiction, and using engaging and accessible language, breaking down complex ideas into digestible portions, and keeping the work concise.
Also, it is important to keep in mind the basic principles of writing, such as clarity, coherence, and the ability to evoke emotions and spark critical thinking. Since the world is becoming more and more interconnected, we writers must adapt to the new but still stay within the limits of the principles of age-old good writing practices.
