Your audience needs to have an adea about where they are heading. SOmetimes writers (me included) get wrapped up too much in our glorious prose and fail to get to the point. I think there can be a balance however between "hitting them over the head" and drawing out the suspense a little bit. And please, don't ever ration your love! Kathy: You are so right.

And please, don’t ever ration your love!

One way I try to write is to hit people over the head with my point in the first one or two sentences, then flesh it out after. What I find distracting on some blogs is that I'm reading five paragraphs of details and I don't know where the writer is going with it. Five paragraphs is a long time to keep an online reader focused. I'm all about hitting them early and hard. Love your blog. Have I told you that already? This is great stuff, Dan.

Although I think the '62 Country Squire would look like acompact next to one of the beasts from the seventies! Lidian: Thank you. Yes, please catch up on the posts. I have read Ktichen Retro for awhile, it's pretty amazing how things were advertised 'way back when.' John: Happy to be of service.
