By Dr. John Lavelle
The title of this little blog contains a zeugma.? The word occasional has two meanings within the same sentence.? The occasional writer may mean one who writes occasionally or it may mean one who writes for an occasion.? In this case it means both since almost all writers, even those who only write occasionally, write for an occasion, the reason for writing whether it be to explore, persuade, inform, or deliberate.
I am hoping this blog, on occasion, will discuss different aspects of writing delving into not only scholarly or academic writing, but creative writing.? I?m also hoping on occasion I can convince others, who are experts in their field, or those who feel they have something to contribute, to take a little time and become a guest editor.
What I?d like to speak (write) about in this secession is something rather general, (general is a good way to start) the messy and neat writer.? These are two poles on a continuum of writing styles and most people will fall somewhere in between.? The messy and neat writer exist in both scholarly and creative writing.? The messy writer, which I happen to be, writes all over the place, while the neat writer seems to go in one direction.? The messy writer has an idea as to what he or she wants to write about, but only an idea.? The first draft is usually exploratory whether the writer admits it or not.? It, at best, is a focused free-write, a way to get all the ideas bouncing around in the writer?s head down on paper.? The writing goes every which way and usually doesn?t seem to work toward a conclusion, sometimes even contradicting itself.
This is fine and in fact is an opportunity to explore ideas and come up with something more interesting than the writer might have started with, or to understand the subject better discovering insights that might not have been obvious at the beginning.? However, there is also a danger someone else, those authors you?ve researched, will end up unduly influencing the writing or actually writing the article/paper.
The other great danger, a trap many students fall into, is to think that this focused free write is a draft or for the students, somehow a finished piece.? A note to students here who might be reading this blog.? Ninety-nine percent of you cannot write a paper the night before it?s due.? The truly neat writer is rare.? Though in your other classes you can cram and regurgitate information back on to the test paper, stress and fatigue lead to more mistakes in writing.? Messy writers need time.? They need to do it, leave it, forget about it, and then come back to it.? As first year writing coaches are found of saying a messy writer needs to re-vision it, to re-see the paper.
One of my professors said to me while I was a struggling undergraduate, ?You?ll never know what you?re writing about until you?ve written the paper five times.?? It turned out to be fairly true.? If a messy writer needs to give him or herself the right to write anything including really bad stuff, the messy writer must also allow him or herself to throw out anything, hopefully the bad stuff.? In this way the writer writes and revises, writes and revises, not unlike a sculptor adding and removing clay.
The neat writer does all this messiness in his or her head.? The writer does not suddenly sit down to a keyboard and write a finished piece, but contemplates, (free writes) mentally, finds the focus as he or she researches and then moves the research more in focus as the research goes on.? The neat writer, many times, makes a formal outline.? Many create note cards (the neat equivalent to the paragraphs of the drafts of the messy writer).? Thus when a neat writer sits down to write everything is prepared.? The difference could a comparison of two people cooking dinner.? The neat writer would be that person who lines up everything needed for dinner on the counter before starting, all in neat little bowls, the main ingredients already chopped up.? The messy writer, ?when contemplating fixing dinner, in this scenario, would be heading out the door with a gun or basket wanting to see what the main course might be.
Most writers fall someplace between the two poles of the neat and messy writer.? The point is to understand which one you are and to deal honestly with that.? If you strive to be a neat writer, you?re going to have to do ?neat? things, prepare extensively before you write, use copious notes and a formal outline.? Actually writing the paper becomes the end of the process.? If you fall into the messy writer category and would rather not change, and there are very good reasons not to, you will need to make time for multiple drafts, for putting the drafts away and coming back to them for revising.

?Learning doesn?t take a vacation.? Okay, like most annoying moms, I said it, and this summer, I tried to live it. During a family vacation to London, England, ?I attempted to make our visit a mixture of the historic and the fun (they?re not always interchangeable, no matter what my history buff husband says), hoping that the kids would learn something, even if their summer-vacation-new-knowledge-resistance-factor was strong.
One of our stops was Buckingham Palace, and as we stood at the gates and my ten year old son took in the majesty of the ornate and impressive building he said ?Well the Queen must think she?s very important.?, to which my 13 year old daughter responded, ?Well she is pretty rich?. He pondered this for a moment and said ?So if we see her, will she throw us some gold??
I stepped in to mention that while she was indeed wealthy, the chances of her popping into our tourist visit were slim, (let alone having the chance to leap up and catch a tossed gold doubloon) ?and I didn?t think she?d be at the gift shop signing Corgis or anything like that. In fact, I mentioned, she wasn?t even as rich as J.K. Rowling, the creator of Harry Potter.
This was relevant as we had visited the Warner Brothers studio set of the movies in Watford, the day before. ?You know?, said my son, ?J.K. Rowling might not be richer than the Queen but she might have more money.? He continued, as way of explanation ?You think castles are cheap? Someone has to clean them, you know.?
And, I thought to myself, my work here is done.? My nagging about the cost of things, but the importance of cleaning up, all in one sentence. I think I?d pay someone to clean the 75 bathrooms in Buckingham Palace as well.
We continued on with our tour of the London area ? a mixture of ?kid-friendly? activities (LegoLand in nearby Windsor) and historical monuments, but I discovered that perhaps the contrast between the two was a bit much for the kids.
As we toured the subterranean Churchill War Rooms, which had been meticulously preserved in their austere and authentic state from their time during WWII when Prime Minister Winston Churchill and his high level officers manually planned each move, my son turned to me and said ?After Harry Potter, I?m not so impressed with this exhibit. They could have done more.?? More than winning the war, I thought to myself?
I had to concede that the studio tour had indeed been more visually impressive, with actual sets, costumes, and a visit to the Great Hall, Dumbledore?s office, and more. But as I watched him walk through the warren of tunnels underground, listening to the audio guide, and not allowing us to move forward until he had heard every word, I knew that the history would sink in, eventually.
My daughter?s biggest revelation during the tour was that Churchill and his wife had separate bedrooms, and that they were not situated especially close to each other.? ?I guess?, she said ?Sometimes he has to work and she doesn?t want to listen to it.? As I type this article in the wee hours in a dark hotel room while my family sleeps, I think that qualifies as a key learning too.

GEORGETOWN, Del. ?U.S. Sens. Tom Carper, Chris Coons and Congressman John Carney (all D-Del.) wrote to U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu Tuesday evening urging him to review and support a joint proposal by the University of Delaware (UD) and National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) to establish an offshore wind test site off of the Delaware coast. The proposal is in response to the Department of Energy's request for proposals for advanced technology demonstration projects.
The letter highlights the many benefits of supporting the University of Delaware wind project, including Delaware's unique geographical position at the center of the Mid-Atlantic region, where the offshore wind industry believes has the greatest near-term potential for offshore wind development; the long-term investments already made by UD in offshore wind research; and the ability for this project to complement other federal investments in drivetrain and large blade testing facilities in other regions on the Atlantic coast. The project is also supported by Delaware Gov. Jack Markell, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Siemens, Gamesa, Vestas, the Port of Wilmington and Delmarva Power.
"As a result of its design, we expect the UD/NREL offshore wind test site will advance the knowledge base of not only innovative offshore wind technology, but also serve to lower non-market barriers (such as social and environmental barriers) that have proven substantial for the offshore wind industry," the Delegation wrote. "For example, the project has a unique advantage of facilitating the testing of not only of wind turbines, but also of other key components such as foundations and transmission lines to shore."
A copy of the letter follows:
August 21, 2012
The Honorable Steven Chu
Secretary
U.S. Department of Energy
1000 Independence Ave., SW
Washington, DC 20585
Dear Secretary Chu:
We write in support of a joint University of Delaware (UD) and National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) proposal to the Department of Energy's request for proposals titled "US Offshore Wind: Advanced Technology Demonstration Projects." The project application submitted would establish an offshore wind test site off of the Delaware coast that will provide crucial research for the offshore wind industry.
As a result of its design, we expect the UD/NREL offshore wind test site will advance the knowledge base of not only innovative offshore wind technology, but also serve to lower non-market barriers (such as social and environmental barriers) that have proven substantial for the offshore wind industry. For example, the project has a unique advantage of facilitating the testing of not only of wind turbines, but also of other key components such as foundations and transmission lines to shore. The project also will enable the testing of wind power technologies that, while high risk, carry high potential rewards that might otherwise be left on drawing tables.
Here are some additional benefits and comparative advantages of the UD/NREL offshore wind test site:
The proposed project complements substantial federal investments in a drivetrain test facility in South Carolina and a large blade test facility in Massachusetts. It also complements the long-term investments already made by UD in the offshore wind research field, resulting in numerous peer review publications being used by the industry, federal, state and local governments. Finally, the project is strategically located, central to the Department of Interior's designated offshore wind power development areas, and more generally in the center of the Mid-Atlantic, where it is believed the industry has its greatest near-term potential.
We are joined by several stakeholders in support of this project including the US Fish & Wildlife Service, Delaware's Governor Jack Markell, Siemens, Gamesa, Vestas, the Port of Wilmington and Delmarva Power
This is a project on which we all have been working for a number of years, and we appreciate your consideration of this application.
Sincerely,
Thomas R. Carper
United States Senator
Christopher A. Coons

"It's slow" no more. Facebook answers one its top complaints today with the release of v5 of its iOS app that's two times faster because it's built on Objective-C not HTML5. The navigation is mostly the same, but the app launches, photos load, and the feed shows new stories twice as quickly in the new app that is rolling out to the App Store over the course of the day if you don't see it already. Content is cached between views, all the features of the Messenger standalone app are now built in, a drop-down "new stories" banner alerts you to fresh news feed content in real-time, and a Facebook for iPad app update lets users view Timeline. Facebook's iOS mobile product manager Mick Johnson tells me that "We feel the pain points [regarding slowness] pretty harshly ourselves...so this major update to the Facebook for iOS app is focused on one thing -- speed."Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/Kq9dKdQM6x0/
