CHRISTMAS CHAT- PALINDROMES AND OTHER THINGS
Hello everyone,
And a merry christmas to you all
It's me your boy Ayo Stephens (the voice behind this blog) I know it's been a while and I've been off and on this year. I've been up to quite a number of things and been living with the Chimpanzees ( yeah not literally but my neighbors once killed a chimp right on the little mountain behind my place. . Please let's keep that a secret. . . Thanks). But really in plain words. . . The web browseth not from the land i have been residing this year. All the same life has been good without so many things I always thought I will die without e.g electricity and my massive nokia. It's good to be alive without having to depend on electricity, one amazing truth you would discover is that. . . You aren't a robot.
THE ISSUE
Lately I've been thinking 'bout a couple of things (including closing down this blog, a thought which I 'binded' right away. . . He he eh) but seriously I've been thinking a lot on ways of improving this blog and making it more communicable, accessible and it serving it's purpose efficiently.
I would like to say that one of the primary aim of my writing is to draw nearer to my Lord and savior that is JESUS and by drawing near, helping people to draw near too. Like we know, most of my writing has been in poetry form. That wouldn't change. I would keep writing as I'm led and inspired, poetry, prose, columns, interviews, heart talks, reminiscences, and so on. I believe God is also mindful that my gift is to help others too. Come to think of it not everyone enjoys verses, but everyone enjoys a sense of connection with the reader, a level of communication that establishes the fact that it's also a human writing on the other side, and that is one of the things this blog looks forward achieving this new season.
IT'S TIME FOR A MAKEOVER!
Various changes would be seen soon in writing formats, in layout and design and more. Let's bear in mind brethren, the face behind the blog would be seen more often. More communication, more trust, more interaction. A Q&A might be on the way too. I'm thinking :)
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU
To serve you better, your opinion is needed. Your advice, your help, your ideas and even your prayers would be much appreciated. You can leave a comment on this note, holla me via twitter (@ayostephens). And please bear in mind, I love criticism too. It is always an avenue for growth. :)
And yeah! Talking about the christmas season, how is it turning out at your side? I and a couple of friends crashed the zoo in my neighborhood today. I tell you, it was fun. And also I've been having a dose of palindromes. Yes, palindromes and I'm loving them. Here are a few below ( try reading them backwards and see how it works. . . He he he)
Madam, I'm Adam
Go hang a salami; I'm a lasagna hog
Yaweh- the way
Do geeses see God
Sit on a potato pan Otis
Wow! Thanks so much. Once more a happy celebration to you.
Leaving you with a thought that continues to stare at me at the back of the paperback i'm currently reading
"You're not much good until you find out how bad you are"
Really, how true is that? Just wondering
Till next time it's me your boy Ayo Stephens.
Remember, U R LUVED
P.S- if you enjoyed this please leave a comment and if you didn't leave one too so we can help you enjoy better next time :D

ReplyDeleteHey... have a great Christmas! and dont be gone for long.
May the Holy Spirit guide you in the best path for a makeover. There are so many ideas out there, but you'll find the right one. As you make changes, maybe you can put a poll out there to ask your readers whether they like a certain change or not.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and a beautiful new year ahead :)
