Ray Bradbury first predicted this common societal failure and distastefulness of hasty thought we’ve sunk into with contemporary society. Friends and colleagues misconstrue our texts for lack of tone and intent. Indigestible digests, flashy buzzwords and top level tweets all have become our contagious disease, linked with adverse effects.
One of my work colleagues surprised me when he faced a tight deadline for his monthly advice column. He waited until the last day before his persuasive and informative article was due. And then he fastidiously filled out a magnanimous 700 word stream of consciousness, in ninety minutes flat. And it worked! He’s put himself into a good place to accomplish such a splendid feat, while evolving into a better person. His chosen broad background helps large to augment the quality which he spills organically from his fine pen. Perhaps he’s studied Alvin Toffler tomes to prepare for the Future Shock we find in our presence.
It’s true that some folks work better under pressure and I admire my friend for this especially sharp quill skill he’s developed. So maybe it is I, this Luddite, who needs to hasten his pace to catch up with our reckless quickened era. With speedy serenity and prayer to boot! Yet, something about my friend’s fast working formula strikes me with potential for overlooking a key point of information, since I often seem to accomplish just that.
Sometimes writers mull over how much time they should invest working on their stories and articles before submitting them to the publisher. Let’s ask a few experts to see what they think: https://www.ask.com/web?q=how+long+should+you+think+over+your+writing+before+submitting+it%3F&o=0&qo=homepageSearchBox
Citizen toolbox class teachers like to reinforce the fact that showing up in person is usually the most effective way for accomplishing whatever mission you might be pursuing. Next in descending order comes: (interactive holograms – remember this is 2029) video-phones, regular phones and letter writing. Then we have carrier pigeons, smoke signals and e-mails. Lagging last are text messages and sagging telegraph bird wires. Marathon runner notes fluctuate depending on conditions. So why would you ever want to send a text message again, when most of these healthier communication options are still so freely available for applying your vital messages with uppermost clarity?
So let's call our friends while we can. And while we're at it, show up well for each other too!
Average wordsmiths can improve our mediocre skills with bound determination and passionate interest. Polished messages will shine with enough time invested to delicately mull over each phrase and word. Frequently a 500-worder like this requires a good 8 hour shift of investing ethanol to burn past the wee hours. Not including enduring timeless walks, crowned with hypnogogic-reverie naps to help process and nudge these focused thoughts through to the sunny surface, before consideration of zealous sharing. Accomplishing this at a suitable beat even comes down to a matter of respect for dedicated readers.
So, I think it’s healthy for us to have a couple of three works perpetually in motion that we can add and subtract to. A fluctuating living organism, much like newspapers themselves. Not to be blind to specific advantages quantum computing brings from our future, but more a cautionary tale and how we might discuss euphoric openings in the expansive digital arena, and how we might best apply those………
Answer: "Too wise you are, too wise you be,I see you are, !That's you twoskies! two-too wise for me!
