Drop in the Ocean: [030#] Digression
Are we there yet?
Welcome back to our weekly Drop in the Ocean post where we feature the amazing content that was created for the show.
This weeks topic was Digression and honestly it was a fun topic. You will see from all the posts that everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and we are sure you will too.
Digression is best demonstrated it seems, but one must always be wary that your demonstration does not illustrate something other than what you intend. With digression you need to remember the main topic and not veer instead of merely swerve.

@YouHaveWings
Insightful thoughts reflecting on times of hardship when we turn inward to find answers. Her inner thoughts are shared and expanded on with the help of digression. Articulating the thoughts with the help of more information not directly relating but supporting the main train of thought.
Inside world looks like some sort of epic drama with violin sonatas included!
Although at first the difference between digression and distraction may not be very clear. She humorously demonstrated the difference for those who are still a bit unsure.
To be honest, prior to this post, I think my understanding of digression was slightly confused with 'distraction'.
Her post is informative, insightful and humorous @YouHaveWings shares her take on digression and luckily got to post before she got distracted. - Read her post now.

With the festive season around the corner, many feel one of two things. Excitement for the season of giving or bit of a bitter taste. @monchhichi23 shares why she does not really like the festive season as she takes a moment to tell us while halting her search for grinch decorations.
I'm looking for an inflatable Grinch holiday decoration to put at the corner of my house...
As she explains her reasons for not liking the festive season, this naturally leads into where she would rather be. Head over to read her post as I am sure many of us can relate to her predicament. - Read her post now.

A very funny story involving digression taking us through a dialogue between 911 and a distraught caller who has to digress to even begin to explain the unfortunate but hilarious situation.

@TheHive
At times it will seem like you are always out of time, making things difficult to get around to. Fortunately, @TheHive got around to creating his post for us on digression. Sharing an interesting story and a little of the definition for digression.
@JuliaMulcahy
A beautiful poem, even better if you heard her read it. Sharing depth amongst many a digression, @JuliaMulcahy has done a great job not just demonstrating but also inspiring.
@ShadowsPub
All writers and those who are not should read this thorough explanation on the usage of digression in writing and speech. The skill required to achieve it gracefully and use it to your benefit, a must read on the topic of digression.
@Penderis
We know he is not a fish. He never went to school, instead he keeps saying odd things. Then he does kind of resemble a fish.
