The art of 'Brief'

I have about a dozen articles in MarsEdit (my blog software) waiting to be finished. There always seems to be so much to say, it seems awfully difficult to resist capturing every relevant thought or idea in one article. So they sit there, languishing in their unfinished state. It's hard to write something you feel is meaningful and reflects what you think, without it ending up as a great opus of constantly expanding scope... So one of my New Year's resolutions will be to be concise, focused and succint (okay, stop sniggering - it's hard).

Pascal was right (Provincial Letters: Letter XIV).
