I will say, though, that Ali’s post was coincidentally timed – though you’ll have to tune in next week to learn why. You bashed monsters by hitting keys on your keyboard whilst wondering if you could hook up a nodding bird à la Homer Simpson. Thank you so much for injecting the serum of joy in writing back into my system.

Ebook writing isn’t your “thing” Okay, you’re a fair hand with the keyboard, and you do alright when it comes to an article or a blog post, but an ebook? You’d learn the ebook-writing skills you need to create engaging content AND you’d get personal, direct feedback on your writing. It’s not.

Now, when I say ‘don’t write’, I don’t mean you should take a break or get away from the keyboard for a day. That means they’ll grasp your razor-sharp message perfectly, learn from it quickly and understand it clearly. You’ll learn more, understand it better and remember it longer.

This is where bloggers get a head start: if you have a blog, you have a good reason to put fingers to keyboard on a regular basis.

You put hours of effort and study into learning a certain subject inside and out. You probably can’t remember when you last put the knowledge you learned in university to work in your everyday business affairs. You’ve probably forgotten half of what you learned, too. I didn’t pay attention to what I’d learned.

No delicate tippy-tapping on the keyboard for me. It all worked out well in the end (thanks to him), and I learned an important lesson about taking cultural differences and perceptions into consideration while composing an e-mail. You’ll be surprised to learn something. Bang” out a response is probably more appropriate.

We listened, asked questions, and learned more every time we did. Solomon – I feel that being able to discuss, talk and look at all sides of the coin is a gift, and yet so many people ignore the opportunity to ask questions, go deeper and learn more. I learned something new today. What follows is me thinking into my keyboard.
