I'm a very cautious, and slow, writer.  I often start a draft in one of my blogging tools, copy and paste into an editor on my laptop and edit and revise, and copy back into the blog editor before publishing.

I'm a cautious writer because I like to be as grammatically precise as possible, and because I want my writing to be as clear as possible.

I'm a slow writer because, well, I'm a slow thinker. I'm smart, not brilliant, but thoughtful. I try, too hard, perhaps, to be not opinionated.

1999 is a great tool, noted before, because its simplicity offers so little barrier to free-flowing writing. That free flow of words, I suspect, would help me think faster and deeper, and write more, and more fluidly.

So here's to more writing, in 1999, and finding more to think, and say, and write.

Around and around we go.
