Another universal truth
This may be difficult to believe if you look at my various blog posts, but I have a writing problem: I am too succinct; too brief. I am trying to write a paper for a scientific journal, to publish my results, but I am having a heck of a time being more...descriptive, I guess. I make my point, and then I have nothing left to say.
And yet...nearly every posting on this page is me rambling on for ages about absolutly nothing.
Is this then perhaps another universal truth?
It is easy to ramble on, be lengthly and descriptive when there is nothing of consequence to say. It is difficult to do the same when there is a valid point.
Disclaimer: it might just be me.

Maybe it's the difference between inner and outer writing- you know?
Like the portfolio for work and the backpack for after.
And then there are the "cyclists" (commute metaphor) who can see both sides- brief and extensive...
Allison, being succinct is a very, very good thing. Far too few people have mastered that skill. Not very helpful, I admit, but I commend you for your brevity.
Maybe you're smarter than the rest of us?
