I have known in some places my posts on this blog can seem chaotic. As if there is no point to be made, or if I had just threw a bunch of words together not really knowing what I was writing about.
While I write a post, and of course when I'm done writing I will read it. When I wrote Unconditional Love ~ A Road Less Traveled, there were a lot of words I brought together fitting perfect my explanation I was writing, but when reading it out loud I noticed my brain hadn't caught on to the way it was written.
Two nights ago I was on my twitter page, and Mark Lee was sending tweets about editing, if I'm not mistaken.
When I read his tweet the first thing that popped in my head was myself. I sent him a tweet saying he can read thru my blog and let it be known what is exactly the problem.
The tweets I sent directly to Mark Lee were listed in my profile. The tweets he replied to me are in my twitter ID mentions. I have taken these tweets and put them in order as best I remember when we went back and forth with each tweet. Starting with the tweet I sent giving him a chance to fill me in with his personal opinion.
Below you can read what Mark Lee pointed out to me during our tweet discussion on my posts in my blog...

@MasqCrew I wuldnt mind ifUwent thru mine,but I alredy know wht needs2Bfixed.My point is on the lighter side of knowledge tht counts :)
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew here is the link to my blog, FlowerStar Through the Site of Time I would rather hear the ruthless truth than a waist of lies...
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas Knowing it before publishing is a powerful piece of knowledge. Many don't know it and publish anyway. So sad!
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew I'm not trying 2impress anyone.I knw thre was debate about my writing so I wrote 1 post 9x so ppl can C 4thmslvs whre I write from
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew I dnt read! Thnx.The fact that what I write about and where it comes from, editing would take away from the way it took place etc.
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas Knowing that you need to improve, imagine buying a book that was about as well written as your blog.
ElamTseyatas
MasqCrew editing would change everything about it...turn it into a lie...a pause would be put somewhere where it never happened...
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas You definitely have emotion in your writing, which will help your fans ignore your misgivings.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew punctuation would change everything I say around. W what I write about, there is a certain way I have to write it...
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas This is why I am not professional. Can't always pinpoint what you are doing wrong. Just know it sounds wrong outloud.
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas Perhaps but I would venture a guess that if someone transcribed your speech word for word, it might be slightly better.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew This blog was to explain to ppl a side of the story they arent ready to hear...believe me..the way I write about it is sugar coatd
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas What do you mean sugar coated?
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew the subject of what I write about...that is whats sugar coated. that part of life is a bit harsher than anyone could evr imagine
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas In any case, novelists can not write like how people talk. You have to have a certain amount of polish or you won't make it.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew that I know, like I said editihg it would make it into a lie... thats why Im not doing it. Im not trying to go anywhere with it
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas and yet you are giving it a rawness that makes it special. It's your voice.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew its the truth I did it for. the knowledge goes right along w it. I will say that although it may seem that I cant write for shit
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew 2sum... everything I write about you will not find anyone who knows this better than I do.thats why Im not worried about my writng
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas My biggest suggestion would be to improve how you communicate in real life, and your writing will naturally improve.
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas'You will not find anyone who knows everything I write better than I do.' Same words. Different order. Same meaning. Edited.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew this is what I get... I cant change any of what your saying... why... because all of this I have seen through my dreams or visions
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas I believe truth and rawness and a personal voice can be achieved even when basic rules of communication are in place.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew I told a lot of people the truth about them...what did they do with it? thats where this communication comes from 4m me.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew It was "the power" that told them these things the results is what I have no control over...thats just it, the ways dont go thru u
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew thats where I get my writing from. I have to go by "the ways". My way, my life doesnt exist... Like in my info for twitter...
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas But I guarentee you that you would have more power, reach more people with just as much emotion with just some minor edits.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew Every choice I make in my life come from "the ways". I make no choices on my own. bcuz of what I write about, It has 2b done 1 way
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas We R talking about 2different things. U are talking about where your subject comes from. I'm talking about how U present it.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew thats just it, those edits can change the whole story around into what wasnt. "the ways" wuldnt like that they rnt liars.
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas It's interesting that people of 2dialects within same language don't fully understand each other. That's why lang has rules.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew I know this bcuz I tried editing.nd it changed it n2 smething that was a lie.Like I said Im not worried cuz U wnt find ne1 better
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas You can not speak the same way to different people. Speech has to conform to the audience.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew yes,nd what I am tellingU, is that they are 1. TheyR not seperate. Where I get the skill 2write, my knowledge comes 4m same place
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas The job of a novelist is to create a product for an audience. They break too many rules, they lose their audience.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew I can not tear these 2apart. doing whatU ask of editing, will tear them apart.If not doing this costs me image, thn soB it.
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas So, you are telling me that if you improved your skill, you couldn't write about the same things?
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew I wuld rathr go thru this here than pay a biggr price 4breakng thm apart way down the road latr. Thts y Im not editing. I cnt.
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas May I ask your age? (You can give a range if you like)
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew I am 33...I dnt mind
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas I don't think you have the goal of publishing a novel. If so, I would say it probably isn't worth it.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew thats what Im not tryng 2do.this knowledge cnt Btaken by some1else2write about.Y bcuz they didnt walk the life I did 4 what I know
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas We come from a different sub-culture ... that's really the only explanation.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew they could never write it the way I could bcuz they didnt experience it the way I did. May I ask you what your nationality is?
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas I'm white. You can see a picture of me here: Marks picture
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas The name's Mark.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew When Utalk about powr,Uhve 2say it the way it comes out.Learning they way Uknow it,"the power" wuld change its perception ofU fast
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew thngs I write about Nmy blog,will hve somethng 2do w/my knwldge this way.Givn the natre of it,no1cnt take itASit dosnt Blong 2them
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew is no secret..writing is a gift that comes from ur senses.my senses is what enables me 4my way w/ the ways. I cnt break that bond
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas Agreed. Many think they protray themselves as 1thing & get mad when people don't take it that way. You don't have that prob.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew bcuz of what I write about,I have 2write exactly what Isee nd how.I cnt chnge nepart of it or it wuld bcome a lie.A very fine line
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas Your voice is definitely your own.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew I hve had dreams since 8yrsold.my writng comes from same place my dreams do.thts why I cnt edit.I wuld Bchngng my dreams around.
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatasYou speak profound things—just not the way I would word it.
MasqCrew
@ElamTseytas Your writing is personal and doesn't conform to the standard because it doesn't have to. For a novelist it kinda does.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew thts not my goal. I culdnt write about this stuff,nd the ways hve no say.If I did tht,it wuldnt Btrue.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew Othr ppl who write nd dnt write by this,its bcuz their writng comes 4m diffrnt place inside nd dnt hve the help like I do.
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew thtsYI dnt read.same reason.THNX4the offer.If I culd I wuld hve dne it lng tme ago.any1can read my blog but not all will undrstnd
MasqCrew
@ElamTseyatas You don't read because the writers aren't being true to themselves?
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew I cnt sayY.Ne1 hve a?4me I willBmore thn glad 2explain.I am alwys left w lookng like I dnt knw wht the fuk Im doing
ElamTseyatas
@MasqCrew I only got one thing to say. NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER..I know exactly what I do,nd y I do it.it might Bcunning but not fake
ElamTseyatas
THNX 4UR REPLIES @MasqCrew! Appreciated ~ Much Love & Respects ~ Take Care ~ Be Safe ~ Happy New Year ~
In reading the tweets, I don't ask you to have any understanding for reasons my posts are written the way they are. I will add again that when I dream, pass a vision, or things being done in spirit will never be justified in editing. As I bring up what I write I realize the first time letting it out is the closest I come to describing exactly what happened, and anything else surrounding.
The times I did go back to edit I did notice oddly my words written were getting farther from the golden truth, and I heard, "that's not what happened". I saw the "proper" form of writing and my wording hasn't yet spoke truthfully of infinite ways most often kept silent.
When I decide on what I want to write about, I will see what it looks like and get an idea of how long it should be. If what I want to write doesn't come to me this way I will let it go. As I get an idea of all to write, I take this description to find length, and find the best way to put in words. Given these two plus endless intuition describing any way to piece together how it appeared to me is my responsibility to take it this way. This is the reason why my posts turn out as they do.
The nature of my topics are written as it happened in my life, dreamt, came by vision, and can not change even in writing. After I express my side of the story the first time then go back to "edit", it does change on a spiritual sense how it took place.
Understanding the spiritual side of my story is the source of my truth. Therefore, I can't leave this side of the story out from telling. The fact that my posts are short, and crunched with everything possible holding all that was spoken, done, dreamt, appeared through visions, and is what I make crystal clear with words when I write. It is the spiritual notion that is the bone structure of my writing, and editing alters easily.
Our world driven through spirit is a mystery well understood, so we can't draw conclusions expecting people to believe. An unknown realm of life that is hard to comprehend, and common sense says to talk about it would turn the same especially if I'm writing exactly what I have seen.
Mark shares a blog site The Masquerade Crew with other people, so obviously he is savvy when times like these cross his path. I knew I wasn't going to take any advice Mark Lee offered, though I understood with no problem. Having an open mind about my posts enabled me to hear his thoughts, and take the time to explain my side somewhat.
