7and8

Explaining why has taken a lot of words.

But in explaining this philosophy (I don't know what else to call it) of mine I found myself spouting poetically.

Lately I have been putting down books that don't grab me as far as writing style is concerned.  The content is compelling to say the least but without a smooth road for this mind to roll down I just don't have the energy.

One main influence for this probably corporate e-mail.  I constantly edit, cut, revise to remove any question or interpretation to my message.  Another influence is my experience in tech support.  While blind-folded I had to tell folks, without ambiguity, how to use things as they were designed to be used (note the tongue-in-cheek).

Say it without wasting time.

Say it with no room for interpretation.

Get the point across.

Get out alive.
