After much contemplation...

I've been in two minds about writing a blog... as I've wanted it to be something substantial, interesting and beneficial. Of course beneficial for me... but then more importantly, I've been wanting to feature interesting articles that I've read up during the week.


I plan to highlight articles primarily from my writing circle, and feature one or two writers for the week. I know that many of you are brilliant writers and worth the mention. Surely you will bear with me for turning the limelight onto you. :)

Without much ado, I'd like to commence my blog with the writers of today beginning with Glory Lennon. She doesn't need much introduction. From her bubbly presence at the zones and chats to her amazing contributions in the field of horticulture, Glory gives us an insight into the practical aspects of gardening. Take for example one of her recent articles 'How to landscape in dry conditions'. You'd think you'd have problems with creating and maintaining a beautiful garden in the hot, dry areas of the country, but boy... does she find a solution for this worry.

From the dry garden techniques of Glory's article, we move over to the cold Canadian winter of Raymond Alexander Kukkee. His flash fiction entry, 'A winter call', tactfully presents not only a story, but a warning against serious hazards of snowmobile 'highmarking' causing fatal avalanches. It may be summer, you tell yourself, but a highlight of the past couple of months is worth recollecting in the light of great writing talent.

Returning back to gardening, this week an article of mine was published at BrightHub; 'How to build a potting bench for gardening'. It was a pretty interesting topic as I had the opportunity to translate my idea of a potting bench into an E-Guide at BrightHub.

That brings me to the end of my first blog; officially going live. I appreciate feedback, comments and input into how I might improve, expand on or edit my pages. I thank you very much for visiting my page and giving me all the support that I need.

The next issue will focus on the Arts & Humanities Channel. You can look forward to reviews of a random selection of articles along with a series of articles in a particular topic from the channel. Apart from this, a few prominent writers from this channel will also be featured.

Till then...
