From Splog to Blog

For many months I had been writing things which really wouldn't reflect my opinions. I was writing spam blogs and one day I realized why I would spend so much of my time and effort to develop content (for that matter any product/service) which is bogus. I finally decided I should pen down original thoughts rather than writing spam stuff.

There is so much in a man's mind which when left untold could be of use only to him. So, for a person who is a lover of silence (patience & peace), there needs to be a suitable medium to express his thoughts. So I chose this blog. I'm using this blog as a journal to express my thoughts. Your thoughts ..Who cares? Truly - I write just because I wanted a medium to express the tons of thoughts that cross my mind every day and this is a blog of my own. I'd even go to the extent of saying its for my own use. If you have come across looking for some content that would be in the way you wished it would be, this is not the right place. I guess I should soon have an 'about' page and put up this information there.

Kinds of Writing

I was too much bothered by the purpose of the different types of articles I keyed in for my blog. I stumbled upon this piece of information when I was searching for some useful material. So, I share it with you here so that it might be useful to all.
There are various types of effects a writer might wish to have on his readers. It might be to inform, to entertain or to persuade. Each of this results in a different type of prose. To inform, is the most common of all these forms and based on what it’s about, it becomes description, exposition or narration.

· Exposition, in simple is explanation. It is a style that used to explain how things work. It is constructed logically. It is organized around cause or effect, true or false, positive or negative, general or particular and assertion or denial.

Description is putting forth the author’s visual perception in a clear pattern. The general problem is to arrange what we see in a proper pattern.

Narration is used to explain a series of related events or a story. Arranging the events in a sequence of time and revealing their significance are the two the important things in narration.


· Persuasion changes the way the reader thinks or believes. It takes three forms. Argument provides evidence or logical proof and appeals to reason. Satire ridicules folly, subtly or coarsely. In the form of eloquence persuasion appeals to ideals and noble sentiments.

· Entertaining includes fiction, personal essays and sketches.
