But brevity doesn't have to mean using language devoid of words that enhance or have the ability to create a clear image. I think that's one of the many challenges with blog writing: Telling a compelling story, holding the attention of the reader, offering something useful that readers can walk away with and remember, keeping it brief, all while trying to get people to find you in the first place! Thanks for stopping by and adding your thoughts. Hi Mike,

I understand the need for brevity, and that we are all rushing on to read the next post, but reading that section from the old newspaper made me nostalgic for the beauty of language.

It is about making connections and sharing, especially when communicating outward through a form of media to others. In today's terms, content is still king, the richer the content, the better. And if you are seeking to leave a lasting impression, persuade an audience or move a market, even on a one-to-one basis as is now possible, what do you remember?... 140 characters?, or powerpoint bullets?... or a story, especially an interesting story. It can be any length but if it interests you, you do remember because it connects with you on a variety of levels. Language does matter. And writing in a way that tells a story and paints memorable pictures is what communication is all about, yesterday, today certainly... and I will guess yes, even tomorrow, perhaps even more so.
