22 Words
Exercises in getting to the point (or avoiding it) by saying what I have to say in twenty-two words, not counting titles.Why 22?
#1
It’s a pretty number to look at. A fine blend of angled and circular, rounded and straight, parallel and synchronized. Just look.
#2
It’s enough space to summarize an idea and maybe even a couple ideas if there’s extra room (like there is right now).
#3
It’s not so brief it’s meaningless, nor so long that I seem to have started talking before I knew what to say.
#4
Some people can’t express themselves because they don’t have the words. But not me. Nope, I’ve got almost two dozen of them.
#5
Ideas are meant to be pondered. Yes, pondered at great length. But lengthy ponderings are suspect if they defy a simple summary.
#6
More ink is not always more meaning. Sometimes the blank space where you didn’t write says more than if you’d filled it.
#7
To say something worthwhile this short, you have to pay attention to little things.
Then these add up to big things.
Hopefully.
