My Blog Writing Style. My writing style depends on how it started, whether it was prompted by a given set of requirements or it was out of the urge to write something without any requirements or prompt given. If it is against a prompt or a subject specified I write a draft or a layout plan surrounding the requirements consisting of a frame work. An essay is planned on a frame like objective, scope of the essay, my points in support of or against it. Then the concluding points.... [Read more]

Word "Review" in my legend with regard to a "Writing". I read short but sweet stories that bring fun and fantasy, joy, carry me out into an imaginary world where I could enjoy and vent my deep feelings for characters in the story whom I like and identify myself with. Within this framework of my reads, I take time to brood over the way it’s written, it’s positive traits that appeals my palate more than anything else. It’s a learning exercise for me to impr...

I got tempted to write on it for contemplation . ... [Read more]
