30 days writing challenge #21—3 lessons I want my children to learn from me

Just to make this clear, the idea of this post is genuinely from the guideline. It doesn’t mean that I’m trying to say that I’m the person to take examples from, nor that I want to have children (just yet).

Well as a feminist, and a lover of freedom, of course I want my children to explore their whole potential. Do the things they really love, chase the dreams, and everything else will follow. Women or men, I don’t want any of my children be burdened with any social expectations like getting married or have a formal degree, when they don’t want to. I might not be a great example on this, but I do try to keep doing my passion, even if it is not my main agenda.

Open-mindfulness. Since most likely my children will be born in a multi-cultural family, I reckon it will be easier for them to learn being an open-minded people. Because ofc, open-minded person is always easier to discuss with.

Love comes first. I hope that anything that my children do in the future is always based on love first, instead of ambition or fame or money or anything else. This is also the faith of Cristianity; which ofc going to be the foundation of our life in the future. Amen to that!

PS. I feel a bit crazy that somehow this topic seems so real in my mind, despite of not planning to have children in the short time, I know somehow this is happening. Geez, I feel old.

Ready for a ruined childhood?

I think I’ve learned a lot from my dating experiences this year.

1. Feelings. And allowing myself to be completely cut open. (hardest thing I’ve ever learned how to do)

2. Patience.

3. Trust.

What are some things I learned from Everybody Writes by Ann Handley?

Here are three lessons that I learned from this book:

Lesson 1: 'A good lede invites you to the party and a good kicker makes you wish you could stay longer'

Interpretation: Taking from a background in Journalism, Ann gives her readers some food for thought on the interplay between the first and last sentences of a piece, the opening and closing, or the lede (lead) and kicker. The opening line is important to hook the readers attention but nothing is more disappointing than a poor finale.

Ann goes on to give some more tips:

a. Put the reader in your story

b. Describe a problem your reader can relate to

c. Set a stage

d. Ask a question

e. Tell a story or relay a personal anecdote

f. Recast the biggest takeaway of the piece

Lesson 2: 'Part 5 of Everybody Writes offers guidelines on how to act like a publisher by adapting some best practices from journalism'

Interpretation: The concept of a 'brand journalist' is quite interesting. Ann describes this type of journalist as one within an organization who create content and has the following job description:

a. Generates brand awareness

b. Produces industry news

c. Creates thought leadership

d. Generates leads

Lesson 3: 'The ideal length for blog posts, podcasts, social posts, etc. is...'

Interpretation:

a. Blog posts (1,50 words)

b. Email subjects (50 characters or less)

c. Line of text (12 words or less)

d. Paragraph (4 lines of text)

e. YouTube video (3-3.5 minutes)

f. Podcast (22 minutes)

g. Title tags (55 characters)

h. Meta description (155 characters or less)

i. Facebook post (100-140 characters)

j. Tweets (120-130 characters)

k. Domain name (8 characters or less)
