You said it, Jon! If it’s not fun, why bother? And your readers can definitely tell the difference. To keep my writing short, I do one thing consistently: try to think like a reader who’s wondering where the point of it all is. That snaps me together and helps me cut to the chase. Thanks so much for your comments! I look forward to checking out your site.

Hey Emily

A friend of mine pointed me to your site (and she’s a top blogger, too). I like your style and agree with everything that you say in making it interesting. I particularly wish I could keep my writing short and to the point but, when I get into the flow….lol. To connect and ask for comments like you have here is too often forgotten. I love piling on the subheaders as it’s like bullets then and easily scanned. The only one I’d add is to make it fun.

Thanks again

CP, I love this! I’m standing right there in your grandmother’s garden too. Thanks for posting!

I was watering my tomato plant this morning, my lone little plant that once again, yet another summer, i’m attempting to grow on my balcony in my roomie “special” tomato pot. Maybe this one will actually produce fruit because when I bought it at the garden shop, it said “container tomato plant” on it. And since, well, I was actually planting it in a container, I went for it! Maybe this year will be the year! Now it has little yellow flowers just waiting to become what I’m sure will be a boundless cornucopia of summer tomatoes…or squirrel food, either one. Anyway, as I was watering my soon-to-be bountiful tomato plant, all one and a half feet of it, there is always a distinct, for lack of a better description, tomato plant smell. And with a single scent, my mind goes back to standing alone in my grandmother’s vegetable garden during summer break when I was not quite old enough to be the latch key child that I was to become probably the summer after. I remember the air being still and hot, and the only sounds really I could hear were the cacophony of distant cars and day bugs. And the only thing I could really smell was the tomato plants, full of tomatoes. which is what I’m hoping my lone little plant on the balcony will produce this summer!
