What Do I Think?

Hello there. What do I think? Read on, reader.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a thousand words is worth a picture. In other words, the Mona Lisa is worth a thousand words. A thousand quality words mind you, but nevertheless only a thousand. The average novel, being approximately one-hundred thousand words in length, is worth one-hundred pictures. Point made.

Omit needless words, sentences, paragraphs, pages, scenes/sections, chapters, and books (Modification of quote from Strunk and White's Elements of Style).

Call me Shmackshmael. Shmack for short. This is my blog. As you can probably guess, I am anonymous. No one knows my identity and no one ever will, though you may be familiar with my other blog, Shmack Reviews. If not, that is where I post my book reviews.

All I give are my thoughts and some small details about myself. If you're new here, please read "Welcome!" for more information on this blog.

Feel free to comment to your heart's delight. Your comments will keep this blog alive and inspire new ideas. Also, I will not give my e-mail address, so comment instead. I don't care if your comments have nothing to do with the corresponding post. If you become a daily reader, please comment and tell me just that. One-liners are fine. Thanks!
