Hey Robert, thanks for the tag. It might be tomorrow before I get to it — I’ve got a big project on the critical path right now.

Robyn, thanks for the kind words! You’re not the first one to tell me to beware of “learning to write”! Hopefully, I can learn, and still keep my style (now that I’ve “found” it) intact.

Look forward to seeing your post.

Markk – yep, you got it! Just so long as we don’t let it take over completely, like a runaway train.

Karin, a cliche is simply an expression that tends become over-used, sometimes to the point that they become ignored.

But I agree with you – it can sometimes be to your peril to simply ignore them (particularly when they’re true!)

Passionate obsession, but in the “right” areas – I like it!

Sam, you mean you’re not a real Jedi Knight? Seems like that could be a real desireable quality in a job applicant. Especially in the service industry!

Hi Bob, this tag’s a challenge since I’ve never considered how I might be obsessive. It’ll be fun to mull over and you’ll see what develops in a day or two. Your idea to use passion is quite delightful and, I, too, love positive approaches. Now that you’ve revealed your passitons I feel like I know you ever so much better! I love your technique of crossing out what you decide needs changing. Just has a great flavor that I hope you don’t lose when you “learn how to write.” It sets you apart!

Ah, blogging. It starts off slow, and then somewhere along the line, starts gathering momentum and then snowballs, and you can’t get off, nor do you want to.

As another blogger recently stated, the white text box must be filled.

Hi Bob

Just wanted to say: why do you think home-truths are called clichés?

And nothing wrong with passionate obsession (in the
right areas of course)

Well, half the world (off-line) knows me as Sam, and half (online) knows me as Azuaron (the Forest part is an allusion to a novel I’ve written that’s in the editing stage.) Jedi Knight’s only there because ten (or more) years ago when I got the Hotmail account there was no way I was going to give Microsoft my actual name. I’ve been trying to switch to a new Gmail account (can you imagine applying for a job as “Jedi Knight”?), but Google’s been giving me crap about it.
