Occasional Writing

What is occasional writing? By this, I do not mean that occasionally, from time to time, once in a blue moon or once in a month of Sundays, you pick up a pencil, pen, or stylus, or you sit yourself down in front of your computer, laptop, netbook, iPad, or other device, and write a few lines.

No, occasional writing is writing for a special occasion. For example, your mother's birthday, your niece's wedding, your friend's baby shower, your grandson's soccer victory--an occasion that presents a perfect opportunity to Write Something.

Forget buying a birthday gift, shower gift, or wedding gift! This kind of writing can be a gift in and of itself.

It doesn't have to be long and involved. Start with a couplet! Move up to a quatrain. There are lots of possibilities.

Of course you can always write it in a birthday card or wedding card, just to make it official.
