I've found it interesting how much overlap there has been in the various lists when one looks closely. The concepts may be expressed very differently, but they boil down to a few main points.<BR/><BR/>You're welcome, <B>CHARLES</B>. You have a gift for isolating a single concept and dissecting it fully and simply. <BR/><BR/><B>LISA</B>, thanks. I don't think rambling counts as a sin, as long as one goes back later and prunes. Writing is a useful method for forming ideas by thinking "out loud." In that sense, it's useful to put a lot of ideas on the page and then, as you focus in on what you truly want to say, remove the extraneous material.Shauna Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871768714926149114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629757467521843286.post-62812911129741224042007-12-20T14:30:00.000-05:002007-12-20T14:30:00.000-05:00Congratulations and these are terrific points.

My first drafts are always at least 1/3 longer than the second pass and I work toward tightening with every revision. Unfortunately, I don't spend as long working on blog posts and many, if not most of them are much heavier than they need to be. I'm thinking of writing down some writing resolutions to focus on going into the New Year.
