Recently, one of the readers of this blog commented: "I like your no-nonsense writing style, and appreciate your generosity on this blog."
I can't compare myself to Ernest Hemingway, but I've always used his approach: "My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way," he said.
