just another writing...

What is in common with a smoothie and article writing?

Me... Too easy and selfish? Okei. Let me try to explain this in a different way.

Firstly, I would like to point out, that both of these processes demand patience and carefully considering what are you adding and what not to do. When we make a smoothie, it is more for the delight of the taste. Therefore, we mostly take sweet things like fruits and some juice or milk. But we are able to do it with everything else. And why don’t we do it.

I personally never liked tomato juice and I would never add it in a drink. That is why I have not tried to make one with tomatoes or other vegetables. It could very well be that I might do it in the future with other vegetables like carrots, but never tomatoes. Now, writing an article is like making a smoothie. Not all people like the same topics. So, a writer has to take a topic which she or he is good at and can make a story about. As with tomatoes, ships or car technology is not my area, since I do not like it that much.

Overall, everything depends on the content. An article must have technological aspects combined with opinion, but that all has to make sense to a reads. A smoothie also has to be approved by the person who makes and tastes it. So, there you go, similarities between writing an article and a smoothie.

Probably not one of my highlights, but I am on the edge of finding out, what I really want. And right now I want a nice cold smoothie with fruits and orange juice.
