See the tab just under the header called, “The Ideas: Adding Words to Life“? It leads to a page full of links to suggestions I’m collecting for how to live a little more literarily. One of the two missions of this blog is to write ideas for including fine, deliberate words, original or not, in a person’s life. I’m aiming this at people whose day jobs don’t include handling fine words and things literary, such as writers, editors, English teachers (though I hope they read these, too, and share their own ideas). I’m writing this for chemists, civil servants, engineers, housewives, retired people and the still-employed, mailmen (and mail women), bus drivers, lawyers, doctors, the unemployed, and well, you name it. Hopefully just about anybody will find some ideas for how to add deliberate, nice words to their daily living.
I have divided the ideas into six categories: Write, Memorize Poems, Host a Literary Event, Play with Words, Read, and Devotion. Click on the tab to find links for each of these categories. Each link, in turn, leads to many suggestions for how to live a little more literarily. Many of these are simple actions, easy to incorporate. Others take more time. All of them, in one way or another, will give someone who is not a literary professional ways to live in a literary way, adding a bit of depth and fun to living.
