At night I usually put my laptop on my lap and surf for interesting stuff about writing, books, poetry, and politics, while watching the Yankees or a political program. I don’t like multi-tasking, but at my age I do it all the time. Why? Because I feel like I am running out of time to publish a runaway popular book. (One of my writing heroes died not so long ago, John Updike. So I know that I am not going to live forever.)
I am choosey about how I spend my time. And I love to run off and play 9-holes of golf—sun, sky, trees, and green carpeted grass. What more could you ask for? Maybe a Joe Clone. Joe Clone could do all the mundane things that I strive to avoid. Just ask my wife about my avoidance tactics.
Anyway, I don’t blog very much and I should. If I did, I might have a little audience of readers which would encourage me more to write on a more regular basis. What is there to write about? Everything! And that’s the problem. It seems like all those bloggers out there in Blogger Land, which is bigger than Alaska, are already writing about everything. How can I come up with a special voice and slant?
Guess what? I found out today how I can be special—or at least more interesting in my writing. And I am going to share that source with you now. You will find 21 ideas that encourage you to be a more interesting writer, and each one is explained in a simple, succinct paragraph with marvelous examples.

I think that I used numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11?, and 13 in writing this. It came naturally. But knowing about them ahead of time helps. Please let me know what you think about the coppyblogger site.
I may blog and share more often.At night I usually put my laptop on my lap and surf for interesting stuff about writing, books, poetry, and politics, while watching the Yankees or a political program.
