The blog enties will get more polished with time and I'll get back to the habit of writing succinctly and with imagery. It's possible to say what I want in a few words, instead of droning on for a paragraph.
One of my favourite examples of succinct writing was by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Instead of describing all the colours in a sky just past sunset he wrote, "The sky was as black as a bad banana."
I read that line about 15 years ago but still remember it.
