Writing simply and consistently

Welcome to my personal blog!
Who am I writing for?
I am writing primarily for myself. Memory is fragile, thoughts are fleeting - so writing them down and reflecting on them is a great way to expand oneself. If even one of my posts helps at least one other person, then I have achieved more than I had set-out to do here.

  • Simple and beautiful: less is more. Go Deep. Will it make sense when you read it in 10 years?
  • Abstract and then a story: explain abstract thinking with simple stories as those are more likely to stick

This lets me write more and on varied topics that essentially improves the quality of my writing. Why does the FBR rule work?  At first glance, the FBR rule seems to emphasize that quantity trumps quality. In my experience, the overall quality is actually much better because of two effects.
