Working out what to leave out, with successive excising of more and more of the details that you regard as essential, is a major task. I often find myself rewriting a post several times to make it clearer and more concise, sometimes spending five or more minutes reducing it to its essential meaning then deciding it's not worth posting and discarding it. Although that may be more about me organising my thoughts than communicating with others. |
