No finishing thoughts
As I do week notes, one of my usual practices when finishing my blog posts is no longer needed, a conclusion
I always try to have a final paragraph to wrap things up in my blog posts, not necessarily with a heading or anything, but just the natural conclusion of writing something.
I always do this even on my monthly summaries and such, but for my weeknotes, I just don’t, I list my random notes of the week and just finish the post.
I saw RL Dane sharing a post about his every day carry and noticed that he also does not have any conclusion, just listed the things and called it a day.
Maybe I should try and do that, write what I’m going to write and stop, not everything needs to have a proper ending I guess?
Another thing I notice is that I probably use the word “anyway” and “regardless” a lot, but what else can I say?
No matter how hard I try, I’ll probably still try to conclude this in some way, my previous two paragraphs already ended with unanswered questions, maybe this time it will be just a sudden break with no continuation.
But here I am, continuing again, I just think it’s incomplete, maybe I will try with a quote I’ve used before.
Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what’s incomplete and saying: “Now, it’s complete because it’s ended here.”
— from “Collected Sayings of Maud’Dib’’ by the Princess Irulan
Aaagh, you see, but that was the ending of my review of Dune! oops, spoilers, it is not fair to rehash it again for some random rambling of mine that is so off-topic and doesn’t even deserve such a great quote in it.
At this point, I’m just trying to keep you reading a completely non-sensical text, but did it work? If it did and you reached this point of the article, comment your favorite fruit in an email or comments below!
Such a cheap way to create engagement, I know, I can’t end this article with such a tactic, it has to be fair and square—but please, do that random comment anyway. 😉
Honestly, I’m just trying to reach a word count at this point, you can really go read something else now, I beg of you.
And done, this should be right around 400 words now, good job me! See you around my dear reader! Until later.
