Run-on sentences and personal training...
Forgive me Followers... for I am Dumb. Catherine mentioned something that has always bothered me, My blogging, as you can see... Is one big run-on sentence... because I don't know how to fix it... I try to write in paragraphs but it always ends up looking like one big paragraph. So, I need a crash course... I need to admit that I may be a wordsmith in speech but in the written word.... not so much. Luckily, Speech doesn't always show grammar and such.... And I talk so fast that the run-on sentences aren't as obvious in speech. Anyway, How do you all make your blogs look so clean and neat and easy to read? Do you write them on here or in Microsoft Word or whatever and transfer them to here by copy and paste or whatever? BTW, I had my first session with my Personal Trainer today, Justin, and he's so sweet and young and pocket sized but pretty muscular. I love the big YMCA near me... All the personal training is computerized, so when i enter my code, the machine tells me the settings for the chair, back, etc and it tells me what weight I have been working with... which I can raise when I am ready. I feel a little sore, but not so bad. I am going to do the strength training 3 times a week... basically every other day and the cardio i will do more often. I am not getting my hopes up but I am still trying to seperate this mess into paragraphs... and it may be working, if it reads like one long sentence... i spoke too soon. Well, my eating has been pretty good but not perfect. When I workout... i am more hungry, more often. My carbs are a little higher than they used to be since I am eating 25-30 grams of dietary fiber a day too. I did treat myself to some yummy Yoplait Dessert yogurts... they are like 100 calories each and taste like a dessert. I love the Thick and Creamy Lemon Meringue creme one best... It's a nice low calorie treat. Bear in mind, The dessert yogurt are a treat with only 5 or 6 grams of protein... unlike my Greek Yogurt which is a meal, but still yummy.

See... One long paragraph, I am going to have to put my novel on hold... I can't even format properly. What would Oprah think?
ReplyDeleteI type my blog in place where they tell you too. I just press the enter key when I want another paragraph. Sometimes when I add pictures, my formating gets messed up. Sometimes I can fix it, other times I can't.
ReplyDeleteRe formatting, I just type things in the box on blogger, and hit return twice between paragraphs. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI write mine in the Dashboard post writer. Entering between paragraphs puts in the lines you need to separate them.
ReplyDeleteThe treat sounds yummy ( I have a one track mind)
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the formatting. My connection is too slow to edit mine. Sigh
I wouldn't change a thing about the way you blog. Just keep writing! While it may not always follow traditional grammar rules (and whose blog does, really?), it is not hard to follow. If that style feels natural to you, keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI'm wordy. I have a lot to say, and I say it all on the fly. But, I try to break up my posts into smaller chunks with the enter/return key x2 to make separate paragraphs for thoughts that can be broken down as such. I try to avoid the use of ellipses (...) and use -- or () for subthoughts if I have to do so.
ReplyDeleteYour stuff isn't all run-on, exactly, more it's just stream-of-thought (which is good for a blog) that could use some formatting help. It's not hard to read for me, though, so however you want to do it is fine by me! :D
I love your writing and it reads great to me. I love that you use the ... alot. So do I. I like that you write with a voice that is easy to hear.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the writing. Do it your way and don't even worry about any one else. We all love ya and keep coming back for more!
