Keep it Interesting

“THE ONLY MAXIM – DON’T BE BORING
I have taken great inspiration from one film moment that struck me as a message about writing. In the first Alien, the surprise created when the alien bursts from Kane’s (the character played by John Hurt) chest is amazing. It sends a message to the audience that there are no boundaries in this movie.”

– Pen Densham, Riding the Alligator

“For humor writing, you can saturate your sentences with interesting words. For business or professional writing, you might want to use one interesting word in an entire document. It will be noticed. In a good way.”

– Scott Adams, Reframe Your Brain

Yawn.

The body’s automatic intake of oxygen.

A signal that the person is low on energy.

The worst reaction to witness when you are talking to someone.

Here I am talking to you.

Or talking to me, as I am the first audience.

I want to be interesting.

I suppose if I write about what is interesting to me, then my writing will always be interesting to myself.

But is it interesting to others?

I think there is a lot to be said for brevity. Keep things short, to the point, then get the hell out of here!
