Try Journalism 101

Wingless, I am constantly surprised by the mini-novel approach you take towards your responses. You really need to buy a journal and just write your thoughts in that daily rather than taking up that much space on the server for hobby talk.

Erik,

To echo what SlotCarMom said .... and from one long-winded "such-and-such" to another .... take a Jounalism 101 course as an elective.

You will learn how to boil your ideas down and grab the reader's attention in very little space. Take a look at the first two to three paragraphs in an article in USA Today. More people will read your responses and "hear" your message if they can get the information quicker.

Possibly a good idea. Working better on my persuasive skills might work too, but I've resigned myself to being ignored by most people unless I bash them on the head and shout at them (and then they still ignore my message because they're too busy calling me a loud oaf). Communication isn't my strong suit. :freak:

Just remember that the pen is mightier than the sword.
