I suppose the hardest part about writing a daily blog lands on the matters of discipline and free time, both of which, for me and this blog, still exist in their infantile stages. Not to extend excuses--this is hardly a doctoral thesis. I created this blog to challenge myself and, well, maybe I set the initial stakes a little too unrealistically. Nonetheless, this morning I've decided to mull over the best formatting for my forthcoming entries.
The title of each entry will consist of that day's word. Incorporating the definition--which I learned with yesterday's word, "senectitude", is a definite must--tends to create the most problems. Should I provide this at the beginning of the entry, the end, or simply provide a link to the wordsmith.org site? Giving the definition at the very beginning seems a little dry and reminds me of a trite marketing meeting or some kind of hackneyed movie trailer (one of those romantic comedies where a narrator defines the word "love" over quirky scenes of actors slipping down stairs, stealing flowers, and kissing in front of city skylines) . Then again, placing the definition at the end serves virtually no purpose other than to hide potentially valuable information from the reader in order to skirt conforming to---- ahhh, screw it. Let's just see what it looks like.
