Those that write...

Those that can write, do.  Those that can't write critique. Or they would if they could actually think of that particular word.  Writing something that is easy to read is difficult.  I read the fanzine "the ugly inside", and while it is a totally worthwhile read, it isn't written brilliantly.  Those that can write brilliantly get jobs as journalists or novelists.

I like to write.  I like to make sentences flow together and I think (I think!) I am reasonably good at it.  Writing is about presentation, rhythm and choosing words that give an emotional content to your meaning.  Do you get what I mean?  Because some people don't.

Some people think that the phrase "icy snow" isn't a correct description of snow that has melted slightly and re-frozen.  They thing that it will confuse people that read an email sent out to customers - which email, I may add they would may never write.

Now, I'll be honest, I don't always write the perfect email.  I may disclose details about work that the bosses do not want the customer to know.  I may be honest about reasons for delay while the bosses would prefer to hid it.  Such things may be detrimental to the image of the company and I can accept guidance on these matters.  But "icy snow"?  Which brings me back to my original point.  Those that write do.

So I thought I should start writing again.
