Be Brief

One blogger Doug, asked, "Do you actually read other blogs". Pointed me into some thinking. What is it in me that read blogs and decide to say yeah, they are awesome to read since I am living in a fast phased world.

It's always fun reading shorter entries while the point of the essay is unspoiled. But, as a learner, I always find myself tempted to write longer essays or stories just for the sake of writing and gutting all my points out. Witty writing is a style i always wanted to follow. I realized that if we lack the skill writing humorous write-ups, we need to shorten what we need to say and say it direct to the point.

Too short is I think as bad as not writing at all. Like, the writing of diary of Dougy Houser, MD. It losses the sense of time. Well, unless you intend to read them yourself few years onward, you owe it to yourself by writing it too brief. Some points will be encrypted in your own sense of time. Not even your children will understand your point. There will be questions silenced, but dormant.
