All posts by Tony Burgess

Hi there, my name is Tony Burgess (my friends call me T-Bird) from Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. I am a believer, bleeding heart, idealist, and blogger. I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors. My blog is where I chronicle and curate the sacred, serious, and silly things in my life. I am a member of The Episcopal Church. Thank you for connecting with me. Grace, peace, and love!

Post Length

I blog several times a day with posts of varying length. Some of my fellow bloggers here on WordPress are incredible writers who can pump out over 1000 words without sweat. My posts are lucky if they reach 200 words or so. You can get your point across in different ways whether it be words, pix, video, etc. However does a longer post get taken more seriously than a shorter one?

I guess I want to keep things brief or perhaps I just run out of things to say. Peoples life experience can influence and inform their blogging so I guess if you have done much you have a lot to say. One thing I can say is that I am a decent writer (who needs help with punctuation) and I am from the school that our attention span is shorter these days so I need to say what I need to say quickly. Not to say a long post can’t keep ones attention. Some folks can write forever on a subject and that inspires me. Writing comes from research, living and self examination and to be a better blogger who can write with authority doing those things can make a difference.

Well, WordPress tells me this post is over 200 words. Amazing.

Throw back Thursday

I wish I could throw back Thursday, my goodness. It’s been one heck of a day and it hasn’t even gotten started good yet. Gee wiz. Really.

Being Original

I believe in being the star of my own blog. Being creative is fun and being original is freedom. We need new voices and views of the world. My blog is a outlet for my thoughts and outlook. I can make connections too with people who are of like mind. We need more personal blogs where we can be ourselves.

Clean Out My Phone

On occasion it would be good to clean out my phone of pix that I don’t really need anymore or dated photos that aren’t necessary. Maybe it would make my phone a little faster too. Do I need several thousand photos at my fingertips all the time.
