The #InsurmountableBounce: Why Most Readers #Bounce (rather than #Engage ... My Theory as to why, anyway), and the Reason I'm Obsessing over a recent @CopelandNetwork-article | @EnglishWithKim @Ecosia #Bouncing #Engaging #Bounced #Engaged #Engagement

Subscribe FREE to be notified when I uncover more strength here. I have a broken speech-style. Oftentimes, I'll pause before a word when I'm trying to think of 'the exact word I mean to say'; and the person-I'm-talking-to thinks I'm done talking and they feel they ought to respond ... ... very annoying (annoying enough for my search to find Kim's advice on getting past interruptions in conversation before I refocused on 'what brings this up') ... What Brings This Up : Something I've noticed from 'staying Christian in the face of "obvious evidence" (not to mention "Science" and "logical reason" et al. ) and " atheist argument all over the social-network." I think I posted about it earlier: Interrupt-itis—the way people will totally dismiss anything a writer/speaker says after they hear something wrong near the beginning of the article.

#Neverland Cartography - Plumbing the Depths of the Immortal Child | @Google @stlyricscom @getFANDOM @thatAshleyErin

I started on a review of Peter Pan & Wendy , but I bailed on it (after a little 'reporting' on the inspirations for the two characters' names) because 1) I didn't want to "spoil" the major differences between this "Peter Pan" & the other versions (which I'll do below) & 2) ... I guess I didn't feel like I'd built it up enough. See, I guess I want to do 'a whole analysis' on "Peter's Never Never Never Land" (J.M. Barrie's original name for the realm whose name he shortened "the Never Land"). The word “ Neverland ” is Barrie 's name for 'the |Realm a character ( Wendy |Darling) Imagined in Stories she'd tell the other children'---a name Barrie probably chose under the influence of #NeverNever (a contemporary term for |Outback Australia ... but see Never , Land ). This fantasy island was conceived in Barrie 's mind during his adventurous friendship with the |Lle...

#Darren @darrenb95260914 presents "Ten Secret Systems" (for Millions of Views for Your Writings) | @Bing @onomast @TheirishPost @rareirishstuff @irishCentral @InstaIreland @FriendicaNews @parler_app @verotruesocial @Yubo_app @steemit @digg

Darren offers you the Ten Secret Systems as a free bonus for signing onto his list with the form you can access through ' the emboldened link(s) ' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation) The name “ Darren ” is built on either a 'rare Irish surname ' or the name #Darrell (from the surname denoting that one came from #Airelle (in France )). Airelle is also the French name for the Plant -Genus |Vaccinium---the French name derived from ancient words that mean Dark , Black , |Gloomy. #Daren #Darian #Darien #Darin #Darion #Darrin #Derren #Darell #Darrel #Darryl #Daryl #Derryl They weren't specific about ' which rare Irish surname,' so I went searching for it .
