Sixth Blog Post

I think I’m good at writing minimally. Being direct and to the point feels natural to me. There’s a lightness to the prose when I write like this. If I try to write ‘clever’ or ‘masterful’ sentences, my head feels bogged down. I wonder if I have a very low reading and writing IQ — whatever that means. Are simple sentences all my intelligence can handle? I don’t think that’s it. When I use simple sentences, it feels as though I’m building a house, brick by brick. Each line is pulled from my head and carefully placed on the page, like little threads, and I feel my mind easing, calming, growing lighter.
