- -Fox TV Pays me to Tease! Come into my Shorts!- -Writer Hagin KIng"Duchess"

                                         

                                    TEASE: 

                    to Provoke a Person or animal in a Playful way-- 


hmmm....Fox TV Affiliate Channel 12 in Palm Beach paid me to TEASE: write Headlines and Copy aimed to lure viewers to the Evening News!

Officially titled an Associate News Producer for the broadcast, part of my reporting duties centered on getting viewers eyeballs on the Station's newscast. 

That included carefully constructed, timed video packages: a standup open, a middle and an end lasting 15 to 30 seconds. And the evening news that's written by me, that's read by the higher-ups. And the higher-paids!

Come into my Shorts: Lust or Love Semantics

 


                      Is it Ture Love or Lust? Synonyms or Semantics?

Synonyms: words or expressions in the same language that have the exact same meaning, or very similar meaning.

Semantics: the meaning of words, phrases, sentences or text. Aspect of meaning and word relations.

                  Hmmm, so, how closely do 'you think' Love and Lust are related?

   

Although the formal definition of LUST: a state of overwhelming sexual or physical attraction for another person. 

And, LOVE: an intense feeling of deep affection. A deep emotional connection. That may  lead to a desire to make a relationship last- -

* * *My Query centers committed Romantic Relations....

Because, if half of all marriages still dissolve due to causes like Infidelity or related issues like Jealousy or Money; if one professes True Love, but is Lust-driven into bed with you and others, during a committed relationship, is it LOVE or LUST from the onset?

* * *What do you think? Is it LUST or LOVE? And are these two concepts mutually contingent?

What's that Psychological 'Pic-in-a-Pic trick?

                        If you see this...in this image, it means...

- - you know, those photographs, that have a Picture inside a Picture. 

...An image inside an image; challenging us to decipher what projection we see, usually to get us to click on a website...

                                                     uh..

                                             Click Bait...

 



 ....to determine some aspect of our personality...
those images are 
Anamorph:

Anamorphosis is a distorted projection, requiring the viewer, uh, us...
to occupy a specific vantage point

so...it's an 'Intentional Distortion of an Image!'

and no...my above image is Not Anamorph
- -it's simply my amateur editing, of a brand video from my YouTube Vault!

...i said um...'Idiom; not idiot, short- -



....Idioms are hysterical from the, uh, get-go, because the spelling is so close to um...idiot, right! 

                 ...and hey, I'll grab a giggle, wherever I can find one...

                                 and Idioms are definitely Funny!

...i mean, like, "You're the Bee's Knees!"...for coming to my Blog!


                              ...um, do bees even have knees?   

...and that's what makes Idioms such a Hoot!, because obviously, they're typically, Figurative phrases, with non-literal meanings- 

....and even Hot Dogs, makes the list!

'Author Stephen King's row with 'Acronyms and 'Writer Hagin King's 'Short rebuttal!

 

- -Author Stephen King, who shares my birthday, September 21!; my uh..sir name...King, and my 'Vocation...

...Reportedly, is unfavorable to 'Acronyms...

...you know; the abbreviation from the 'initials of other words, and may be pronounced as a word, like, NASA: National Aeronautics and Space Administration!


So...Hagin-Duchess, why do you so strongly champion the Acronym! you ask- -

It's namely a Mnemonic Acronym that's a driving force in my life, and the lives of so many others!  

As the mnemonic acronym, SMART, has surly guided me, and legions, in setting life altering 'Objectives. Further, my ability to 'Set Goals has greatly benefited from this mnemonic acronym's intrinsic delivery: Specific-Measurable-Achievable-Realistic-Timely!

And, I invite All, to leave a comment, sharing your encounters with Acronyms! And you're All welcomed to choose a side; it's either me, the biographer, Ms. King, or, the rich and famous author, Mr. King! 
 
- -lol--Too Funny! Right!

-Believe half of what you Hear! Here! ...with Writer Hagin King! #grammarlaughterwithwriterhaginking.blogspot.com

 

                            What have you Heard? Herd? 

               As the month of 'March closes, and we 'march to the month's end! 

Yes, it's obvious I'm in the mood for homophones: words with the same pronunciation, but with different meanings, origins, or spellings: Heard/Herd! Here/Hear! 

And even Homographs; words with the same spelling(March/March) but different meanings.       

              ...but what "other words" are we saying that are of concern to me today...


So...instead of saying words that can Hurt, let's have Fun with Grammar, using all the words under the umbrella of Homonyms, you know: words that sound alike, but have different meanings!

- -Grammar Suffers in Palm Beach with Writer Hagin King

Martha Stewart is my she-ro...

- -One of the many reasons I admire Martha Steward so Profoundly, is because of her seemingly, unshakable Focus!
...So, it's Martha Stewart I tried to emulate, when I'd just wrote and co-produced my first Episode of, "Grammar Laughter!"...a grammar-centric TV short, that I hoped was the beginning of a TV franchise segment, like the Hundreds, Martha Stewart so masterfully, produces.
But... 
I was just starting to Start, when...Thud! B-O-O-M!, my life spit apart at the seams... 


      
 ...and "Grammar Laughter!" becomes a casualty of war, that would be left dormant on the wayside, for another 6-years, while I rebuilt my life, relocating from Palm Beach, where I'd landed my career defining roles as a news reporter, for both TV and print news; hosted business TV and wrote the evening broadcast, as an Associate News Producer, under the umbrella of a Palm Beach, Fox News Affiliate.

...And that Ending, propelled a new beginning, because I was off to Hawaii! 
Where, like Martha Stewart,"Grammar Laughter!"would again, rise, with mammoth focus! So Follow along, in the Coming Post, because like anything in life, circumstances are relative, and so is the Paradise Island of Oahu! 


- -Bicycle vs. Popsicle! Grammar Laughter!

Sounds! Bi cycle vs. Pop-( sicle : a suffix combined with a noun to indicate something cold or frozen                                      ...
