Thlog of the week

Moves. Everything in the world is a “move” for something. If you look around a bar you’ll definitely she a couple guys trying to “make a move” on a girl, otherwise known as flirting or hitting her up. When someone makes a move it means they are trying to achieve something. When an author makes a move, it means he’s trying to affect his writing by implementing certain things into their writing that enhance and give purpose to their writing. Sometimes authors have their own move, their own signature that gives readers an alert that says loud and clear “this is mine!” Many people know this, but are used to seeing it in other things such as Picasso’s unique paint strokes or Zayn’s high pitched voice in one direction. Just like your signature on a legal document, these signatures let people know that this is something that is yours. Whether you know it or not, everything you read has some sort of move in it, such as a news article; they give you the facts while also posting their opinion to sort of persuade you. That is their move. When you listen to a protest they are trying to move you into supporting their beliefs.  So it was pretty neat to me to see how every author actually tries different tools/moves to achieve a goal an impact their writing. Something I am interested about is whether or not a famous celebrity accidentally made a “move” that made them famous, like maybe Michael Jackson was actually falling down but saved himself in time and just rolled with it calling it “the antigravity lean”.
