Once again, everything I say should INTERRELATE. Responding to Shari’s comment discussed in the article below, I now jump to the subject of writing style, which has no apparent relationship to what she said. But to my INTERRELATED way of thinking, it does.
In the article below I talk about how she made me think of language usage. Now she reminds me of a poiint about writing style.
What about the REST of what Shari said? It is important, but I am concentrating, not just on RESPONDING to what she said, but rather on how I think what she says relates the kind of thinking I am trying to inculcate here. A RESPONSE to everything she said in that short comment would be very long indeed.
Shari’s comment below brings up the whole history of Christianity. I keep emphasizing that you simply cannot understand the history of Christianity, which is critical to understanding Western Civilization, if you ignore the Persian Zoroastrian influence. So I have to ignore part of what she said, even though I would love to deal with it in detail.
That would bore you to tears.
Which leads us to basic point about writing:
A writer must learn what to write, but he must also learn to LEAVE OUT things. I like to say, “One thing you learn in the process of becoming a profession writer is that the ERASER on your pencil is as important as the writing end.”
