Wonderlust ♥

hello , it's me again .
purpose of this blogpost is to realign my goals and to be more productive .

first up though , i got to start studying for my exam upcoming in 2 weeks *shivers*
that starts at 4pm till 6pm , giving me about 15 minutes to complete this post and other miscellaneous things i would like to do .

so , it's a little late but here are my goals for 2017 !

i'm gonna set a target for at least one instagram worthy piece of art to be published each month .
i'm also gonna self-publish an ebook ; well , you know , an author was always one of my considerations and i got to admit that i need to work on my creativity . let's sayyy end 2017 or early 2018 ? i'll be reading up on investments as well , because i feel the need to broaden what i read so i don't stagnate . furthermore , you've got to have knowledge to apply perceptiveness to *ahem*

cheers and RIP my long weekends T__T

but what do you do ,
when you have issues ;
remembering to give up ,
remembering to forget ,
remembering it doesn't matter ,
remembering it shouldn't be present .

Wow . i'm actually pretty diligent with my once a month blog post . though it's such an abysmal figure , considering that gives us only 12 blog posts a year . still . it's quality over quantity wouldn't you say ?

ironically , i'm going to be writing about writing since i just completed a writing course .

nope , this isn't work propaganda . i'm going with categorization of fresh information for better retention .*shrugs*

for introduction's sake , although i have some aspirations to be an author in the upcoming future , i absolutely abhor writing in work context . it's terribly dreary having to draft , re-visit and re-write correspondences . and in all honesty , in my opinion , it's too much time spent when writing doesn't directly help with your KPIs , neither does it with your performance evaluation .

however , i admit writing is integral and imperative in getting things expedited and getting certain things completed , therefore it correlates indirectly to a certain degree .

so here's to getting rid of the negativity and trying harder !

for a start , i realized that my struggle with drafting replies and/or proposals arises mainly from lack of structure , and my style of writing , which sways more towards nominal as opposed to verbal .

starting with sentence structure , we went through the SVOCA model ; which broken down translates to ; subject , verb , object , character , adverb . the concept is pretty interesting and scores a plus point in helping me remember the meaning of verb and adverb , which are on normal occasions classified as technicalities i cannot be bothered with .

generally , applying the concept of SVO is enough . meaning , you start with the subject , verb and end with the object . i.e. john saved a snail (sorry , i just read an article on saving snails that left me deliberating). C comes in when you use words to characterize the subject or object (brown) and A comes in as a modifier for your verbs (in a fit of empathy). you get the idea right ?

whereas for structure as an entirety , we went through the three factor approach , namely , strategic perspective (why), operational perspective (how) and events perspective (5 Ws + 1 H).
a simplified translation would be , start with why (purpose of letter), how (what is being done) and end with 5Ws and 1 H (small whats and hows).

it's implied that a more verbal style of writing is preferred when drafting replies whereas nominal would be more widely used it speeches (and novels i presume).

painful examples aside , i concur that these three tips may probably help you in a pinch .
although i suspect i lost you after SVOCA .
still , you're welcome .

well , hit me up if you are actually interested in this shit and i'll talk about it a little more .

sorry for the abrupt ending but i'm getting sidetracked so ...
i'll blog another one soon :)


happy V'day errbody !
xoxo
