The below was sent to me by one my near daily note fans---- err, I mean recipients. After noting my struggles and failures over all these years she finally worked up the gumption to make an attempt to help me....I think.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Writing Advice
In promulgating your esoteric cogitations or articulating your superficial sentimentalities and amicable philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications possess a compacted conciseness, a clarified comprehensibility, a coalescent cogency and a concatenated consistency. Eschew obfuscation and all conglomeration of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement and asinine affectations. Let your extemporaneous descants and unpremeditated expatiations have intelligibility and voracious vivacity without rodomontade or thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolificacy and vain vapid verbosity.
If you are really interested to know, the above means: "Be brief and don't use big words."

Anyway, 'brief' should be the easy part but the 'don't use big words' is lost on me. I've never had any to not use.
Another good day going here as are all our days but today will be a little bit special because of the weather. A 73 degree spring type day is the forecast. I guess it's mother natures way of giving the flowers and other growing things a last meal of warmth and sunshine before they face the finale of their execution.
Sure hope this was brief enough!

Death being the last thing that most people want makes it the only absolutely guaranteed want in the whole living world!
