The last mass is on Christmas day. The Christmas celebrations continue to the First Sunday in January when Epiphany or the Feast of the Three Kings is celebrated. In the Philippines the early masses held before Christmas are called the ‘Misa de Gallo’ or ‘Simbang Gabi’ in Filipino.

People in the Philippines like to celebrate Christmas for as long as possible! The playing of Christmas carols in shops can start in September! The formal Christmas celebrations start on 16th December when many people go the the first of nine pre-dawn or early morning masses. The last mass is on Christmas day. The Christmas celebrations continue to the First Sunday in January when Epiphany or the Feast of the Three Kings is celebrated.

In the Philippines the early masses held before Christmas are called the ‘Misa de Gallo’ or ‘Simbang Gabi’ in Filipino.

Most Filipinos are Christians with about 80% of people being Catholics. It’s the only Asian country with so many Christians. Because of this, Christmas is the most important holiday in the Philippines. December is actually one of the ‘cooler’ months of the year in the Philippines. The Philippines only has two real seasons, wet (June to October) and dry (April and May). December is one of the months in between the wet and dry seasons.

Christmas customs in the Philippines are a mixture of western and native Filipino traditions. (Christianity became widely known in The Philippines in the 1500s when missionaries from countries like Portugal and Spain traveled to the area.) So people in the Philippines have Santa Claus (or ‘Santa Klaus’), Christmas trees, Christmas cards and Christmas carols from western countries!

The problems of a writer are how to begin and how to end.The best thing to do is write what pops up from the mind, and then develop the topic . Let us not forget the 3 parts of a composition intro, body and conclusion. As long as the beginning is ready, the next thing to do is just support the main topics.In our case as bloggers, we can immediately strike a beginning sentence according to the blog we want to write.

This is the area where every writer makes a sluggish movement. This is an important area to attract the readers to read your article. As you said rightly, the concluding part is a difficult exit. It should be decorated nicely to make others feel free smelling the flowers in the Garden. The Garden should be nicely arranged with good pictures, some thrilling quotes et., Everything should be arranged properly. Others, there is no purpose of keeping a beautiful garden without good entry and exit.

Thinking of a great opening sentence is such an important aspect of being a writer.

With so much information being written and shared online and offline, we cannot afford to be boring or vague.

This is the usual and the common problem of every writer. In your case, you write the problem of the opening sentence which seems unattractive. Where? How do you qualify your title to attract readers? Then as you have said, reader’s attention would be pegged to read more if the introductory sentence in your post is interesting or catchy.

Yours is a declarative statement of what your topic is about. Why not make it interesting? And how do you do it? You see. It is not easy but if you are used to writing you could easily make it and have everything flowing smoothly.

Is this for short story, ‘how to open sentence in writing short story’. Nice tip here. Actually, the first paragraph is one of the hardest work for many writers. They don’t know how to begin the story. I have read a book on how to start a short story. But this does not matter when you want to write. You don’t think how to start.

My tip is here: think of a scene, any scene in your house, school, in the garden, eating, quarrel, and try to narrate that scene, this is how I start my story.

Rather than talking about the opening sentence I would rather worry about giving an appropriate title which normally attracts readers and viewers.

Honestly saying I am writing since many years, but I never completed a single book. That is true that for becoming good writer one must need to keep reading lots of book. But instead of books, I love to read different online blogs. I am following many online technology related blogs and I used to keep reading them regularly whenever they have some new posts. So that’s why may be I am writing more related to technology stuff.
But surely I will try to read few books too but yes it should be my interest related. Good going.

You are a good writer though. I love reading interesting stuff. I love adventure.

It used to be when I get hold of a book, I used not to put it down till I reach its end. There were too many good story books like ‘Alice in wonderland’,’Guilliver’s travels’ and many more. They were good

I remember that when I was still a little kid I love reading stories in the books, books from school. Those times when there were no kindle and ebooks, no facebook and amazon including wattpad, so the best entertainment for reading is through the hard copy, books, comics and papers.

I have read Filipino stories like Bernardo Carpio– who is a strong person who bent the two mountains from colliding each other. I have also read the Florante and Laura and many more stories and epics that build my talent as a writer.

Very nice, all true, one can become an ardent researcher and become lover of words and art. We need art in writing. We also acquire some talents and skills as months go by.We can also gain many friends worldwide.

Your points are quite good. I am writing since many years, though I am still not professional one. But one thing is sure that I have learned so many things with my experience. With my keep trying my writing has been improved lot in compare to past. And yes here we need to keep patience for everything. So that skill will be improve for all of us. Good going.

I only write online because writing is a skill that I have and I figured it could be used to become gainfully self-employed, and I could work from home, and hopefully my efforts will generate consistent income. All the other stuff that comes with doing that, such as, meeting new people, etc. That’s just “gravy”. 🙂
