I haven't blogged in years...all the way back to the time when they still called them diaries. Free Open Diary, I believe. Sadly I can't find those early posts, though not for lack of trying. I think they'd be fun to read.
And so, I haven't decided just what I'll use this for. Perhaps venting, perhaps as a record of my writing when the writing will come, perhaps observations, I suppose time will tell. I'll have to let it happen organically. I just hope that I can live up to the blog's name, so as a reminder mostly for myself, here's what the dictionary says about coherence:
"The quality or state of cohering, especially a logical, orderly, and aesthetically consistent relationship of parts."
Love it when the dictionary defines a word by using the word. Coherence is cohering. Genius.
To me, coherence used in linguistics basically means writing in such a way that is pleasing and smooth and eloquent. Taking dissonance, adding and subtracting words and phrases, creating sentences and paragraphs that sound pretty, intelligent, and dreamy when read. Aesthetic...a word that in itself denotes beauty and even sounds beautiful when said.
So cheers to beauty. Cheers to purpose. Cheers to life.
