Reflections of a working writer and reader
Cross out as many adjectives and adverbs as you can. ... It is comprehensible when I write: "The man sat on the grass," because it is clear and does not detain one's attention. On the other hand, it is difficult to figure out and hard on the brain if I write: "The tall, narrow-chested man of medium height and with a red beard sat down on the green grass that had already been trampled down by the pedestrians, sat down silently, looking around timidly and fearfully." The brain can't grasp all that at once, and art must be grasped at once, instantaneously. Anton Chekhov
I’m posting this a little later than usual because I got caught up watching Loose Change – Second Edition, a documentary about 9-11. You can watch it too, by following this link: http://www.loosechange911.com/
Watch it if you are into Conspiracy Theory.
Watch it if you don’t like Conspiracy Theory.
But if you just want something to think about, watch this instead: http://www.loosechange911.com/

I watched it. Scary. And thought-provoking.
I also bought the Dixie Chicks new album. Brilliant. And thought-provoking.
Thanks.
Very interesting, isn’t it?
