Flashes of Panic

I’ve been meaning to mention this for a while now, but I’ve been busy crossing things off lists. I had a column at RW Online on Tuesday (apparently late on Tuesday, due to some editorial snafu.)

I liked it when I was writing it, but the more I read it now the more frustrated I am with it. I still haven’t figured out how to best use the short format of this space (around 500 words.) I reached nearly 700 words before I started cutting, and I’m still over. And even with all that, I stopped short of actually making a point. It’s so easy for me to get wrapped up in setting the scene, that I do that extensively, and then don’t deliver a solid thought to go with the images.

Bah. I’ve been trying to do this for, what, three years now? I’ve had a few good ones, but sometimes I wonder why I haven’t been un-invited yet.
