I was\u00a0chatting\u00a0with my Policy Adviser and Technical Facilitator\u00a0for The Life Literary<\/em> (aka my oldest son).\u00a0 We\u00a0were chatting via email about this and that, family stuff as well as blog issues.\u00a0 We discussed how I might eventually increase The Life Literary<\/em>‘s readership.\u00a0 He advised:<\/p>\n

I would say that more than anything you begin to define the niche in which you want to operate.\u00a0 Try to define what the ultimate goal of this blog is. What is your elevator pitch? Who is your audience? What makes you different from other people in this field? \u00a0 But… at the moment it might be best for you just to focus on content ….<\/em><\/p>\n

I commented on the first part of what he had written, then added:<\/p>\n

I’m very content to keep adding content.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wow!\u00a0 What a fantastic sentence and I didn’t even intend it.\u00a0 Complete serendipity!\u00a0 ConTENT to add CONtent.\u00a0 This word is a noun when the first syllable is accented and an adjective when the second.\u00a0 The first minutes after I recognized this were such fun.\u00a0 I almost laughed out loud.\u00a0 It was like finding a hundred dollar bill on the sidewalk.\u00a0 Sometimes word plays just happen in the context of everyday communicating, and I love it when they do.<\/p>\n

(I’m adding this post post.\u00a0 My Tech Facilitor helped me solve another problem I was having.\u00a0 Here’s what I wrote to him:<\/p>\n

I absolutely don\u2019t mind a simple solution.\u00a0 Nice to have a tech facilitator who can cut to the quick, quick.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\ufeff\ufeff\ufeffI know, Iknow, it should have been, “…cut to the quick quickly,” but I liked repeating the same word, quick, but\u00a0with two different meanings.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
