On blogging & which blogs I'm reading

Some people maintained their blogs on regular weekly, monthly and yearly bases. My blog was in the forgotten and neglected land. I'm aware that some bloggers generate income form their blogs, my blog had started as a personal journey for writing discoveries. So the blog wasn't the goal of itself. It was a mean to an end. Moving forward, and after reading some exceptional, & inspiring blogs, I changed my mind on blogging. The blog by itself is an art, people use it in many different ways, to inform, entertain or for self discovery. So perhaps I can delve into some topics that I'm interested in, and write about them. I wasn't in the past consistent blogger, from now I try to find my rhythm by publishing on regular basis. I'm not sure yet, if it'll be weekly, but at least I should aim to publish monthly.

I admit that the blogs I enjoy reading currently are personal finance blogs and its a big & huge thing, these kind of blogs attracts many comments by similar personal finance blogs. One in  particular personal finance blog I enjoy reading is  Done by Forty. His writing style and audience engagement is spectacular. I try to get tips and tricks to save money & invest from different sources including books.

Reading personal finance blogs are inspiring for me to be wise with money and invest it sensibly. 

Currently creative writing & in particular fiction writing is at the back burner, my earning power in my regular job is still in the development stages and I hope to release my full potential in my chosen career.

The wisdom from personal finance writers is be wise & smart with your money. Let the money you have saved to earn you extra money by investing it in real estate, shares etc.

And who knows I might end up better suited to articles writing instead of novels' writing, although I'm not ready to give up on that dream just yet.

1st Book Review: Girl Saves Boy by Steph Bowe (Fiction Novel)

What is the difference between TV Soap & TV Drama?

The difference is - from my own observations without googleing for the answer or checking a reputable journal that deals with this kind of topic- my answer is: A TV Soap never ends, it goes on and on like Neighbours and the Bold and the Beautiful on most days of the year for years.  I'm on and off watcher of the two soaps because the plot never ends and you can easily pick up the plot and catch up on the scriptwriters new endeavour. The time of the TV Soap is not aired at prime time, instead they are aired during the day up until 7:30pm. Also the TV Soap is 1/2 hour format with daily time slot. On the other hand TV dramas like Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Packed to the Rafters and Offspring are one hour format with prime time air time. And usually they run for one season with less than twenty episodes to go until their next return in another season or in another year. So they give us the viewer a bit of a break. Not because they are bad TV dramas but because as

Why I’m watching My Kitchen Rules, and it isn’t for the cooking

I’m an average cook, and cooking is not one of my interests, but I watch My Kitchen Rules to see the human drama showing up in competition and against the clock. It is life; there are the friends and foes. And all the human emotions that flares up. It is not bad they serve up gourmet dishes and advice, and the dilemma of under cooking and over cooking. But what makes this show exciting, its changing locations and mini competitions that focus on smaller teams doing asides competitions against each others give them fancy and epic names such as the ‘Sudden Death’ at other times   “Cook off”.

I'm back to blog

So what I've been doing since my last blog in April 2011? Reading novels, watching TV, working on that work promotion that I still did not get, studying, facebooking, tweeting and keeping indoors from the cold and rain. But the dream is still alive, I like the art of writing and the expresion of it all. My next piece to publish on this blog is to write a feature or opinion piece about three Australian TV dramas from three different Australian TV stations and comparing and contrasting them. I actually asked on twitter if someone can send me the link to their article if they write about this three Australian drama, which I won't mention the TV series' names here, however, nobody replied. They might have written this article, or not. If someone did, it could be from their own prespective. Creativefishi Swimming with Words is about swimming freely in an ocean of writerly possibilities.
