Once upon a time, I wrote long, weepy,
self-indulgent blog posts. Not anymore. I hate reading the stuff
(because hardly anyone is capable of writing a coherent thought),
so I vow to eschew it in my own writing.
Rule #2: Again, Half as Long
A title, a 3-4
sentence introduction, one medium-long paragraph, and that's it.
Short, simple, tightly written. If you want verbosity, I highly recommend Russian literature. But I will develop my themes over
consecutive days, weeks, months or years. Ever read Doonesbury?
Trudeau thought of one joke for the week and told it five different
ways. I might do that. Or not. Unlike Dan Carlin, I might actually
repeat myself. And I reserve the right in perpetuity to change my
mind with or without warning and with or without cause.
