READING, WRITING

Read for 70 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says that women have rarely (until recent trends) achieved "alpha status."  He gives Queen Elizabeth I of the House of Tudor, who did so until she died at age 70 in 1603.  But he adds that ALL the significant positions in government, military, education (even students), science, religion and industry were held by men.

Before that, there were only 2 "alpha" females of note:  Cleopatra (Egypt), and Empress Wu Zetian (China).

While I had not known these details, I did know there was/is a trend toward a more equal distribution of these roles between males and females.

Read for 70 seconds in YOU ARE A WRITER by Jeff Goins.  He says that "good" is subjective.  When asked, he rarely labels writing as "good" or "bad."  He says his opinion does not matter.  What matters is, DOES IT GET THE JOB DONE WELL?  He uses the example of 2 carpenters opining about the qualities of a hammer.  They don't care so much how beautiful it is; they care only if it gets the job done.  

Jeff Goins says writing is like that.

We'll see; I am remembering Mr. Whitman in Grade 10 English class in Beaconsfield, who discussed the subjective quality of writing; I made the point that everyone will have his/her own opinion of a work of wriring.  Nevertheless, he insisted, there are benchmarks which identify "good" writing.  I was so enamored and otherwise "taken" with him that the messages he gave barely sank in.  But that one did.

So, again, "we'll see;" I will write, and see if Jeff Goins and Mr. Whitman are right about writing.
