Solving a word puzzle with help from the blogosphere

Who will help the writer find her way through this perplexing word puzzle?

The new blogger was trying to end writing procrastination, when out of the blue she found herself tripping over words, wrongly used . You might think this is strange, but even for a confident writer such things can happen at times. Our brave and quirky hero knew exactly what to do — manage your writing – but our brave and quirky hero still found herself with all capitals, unnecessary punctuation and redundant words.

Seeking help for this dilemma, our hero headed down the road to writing, clear and simple.

The road passed three creatures — each of them was more interesting than the next. The first was looking it up in the dictionary. The second was writing a social media press release. The third was writing great ezines and blogs. Our brave and quirky hero ran the rest of the way, and when she got there, she got another surprise!

“How do I become a better speller?” our hero exclaimed.

“Stop asking questions,” the conversational dynamo answered.

“I was practicing writing in different styles , when out of the blue I realized writing a link post may be less like a party and more like hard work.” our brave and quirky hero said, knees shaking.

“Could you spare a remedy for writer’s cramp?”

And so it passed that the blogging queen in the swirling teal green dress gave our brave and quirky hero ten essential reference sites for writers AND a large tub of ice cream and all was well.

You might think this is strange, but in word talk from the blogosphere such things happen all of the time.

I’m not sure the story makes perfect sense but it seemed like a fun way to highlight some great posts from my writing blog roll, to respond to Liz’s most recent writing challenge, to say a belated happy blog day to fellow bloggers who are writing about writing, and to offer something ‘blog lite’ for those lucky readers in the US who are on holiday today
