Idle Words make good blog

by Suw on October 16, 2003

I love the way that Maciej Ceglowski writes. Sometimes you come across a writer who just knocks your socks off and forces you raise your game, to pay a lot more attention to each word that you release from your fingertips into the wilds of the web. I read V's half-finished novel a few weeks ago and it had the same effect on me as Marciej's blog does. If you haven't been over to Idle Words before, go, right now, before you get sidetracked.

(I wish V would start a blog. Although I fear it would just be too good for him to be allowed to live. It would also distract him from finishing said novel, which is an eventuality I simply could not allow.)

Goodness, thank you so much for the kind words! I've found my blogging really improved after I began devoting all of my work hours to it.

I'm glad to have found your site, too, and will try to overlook our diametrically opposed views on airplane turbulence.

Gratefully,

Maciej

I think travel improves blog quality too, although perhaps I should do more of it, just to test that hypothesis.

My top turbulence tip: when the plane lurches downward, say 'Oooooooh!' and when it lurches upwards say 'Ahhhhhhhh!' as if you're on a fairground ride. Soon enough, everyone else on the plane will be going 'Ooooh!' and 'Ahhhhhh!', and you'll be so busy laughing at them you'll forget to be worried.

Works. Honest. 😉
