I’ve reached that age when I think it’s okay to say what I think about things.
But then some people would say I’ve always been like that. So what’s new?
What’s new is that I thought it time to note down some of my observations of things in life. Put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard in this case.
It’s just that some things are worth commenting on. Usually because they make me mad, angry, cranky, despair… just call me grumpy.
But I also see the fun and beauty of things in life, and things that amuse and make me smile and laugh.
So why 12pars?
Well one place I worked as a journalist was quite specific about how many paragraphs (pars) to write on a particular story.
Eight to 10 was the norm. To get 12 pars then it must be a big story.
But often there was the cry out for more NIBs – that’s news in brief.
These are stories you can tell in just a few short pars, maybe even a single par. They help fill the spaces on newspaper pages.
So expect a few short stories to come from me as well as the occasional 12 par epic.
These opinions are my own, feel free to agree or disagree, but keep any comments civil or I will delete them.
