Brief. Even Silent.
WENDY PARK BRIDGE/WHISKEY ISLAND — Cleveland, OH — C. James — 25 Sept 2022

Brief. Even Silent.

Walked this bridge on a rainy afternoon with Christopher Diehl and ?? Sue James . I asked Christopher to share his reflections regarding the bridge. He offered three words: “Lean. Creative. Elegant.”

Brief and succinct—but said so much.

Our conversation evolved to concepts of Brevity and Silence. Christopher mentioned Hemingway.?

Little did he know I was thinking of the 9-29-22 WriteNow 360° (1:00 PM ET) free virtual event. The gathering largely has to do with writers and writing (but not limited to).

Whether with words, numbers (thanks Cynthia Saine ) images or sounds… being brief and succinct can speak volumes.?

But how do we do it??...We'll chat about exactly that.

Thursday 9-29-22 @ 1:00 PM ET. Advance registration is appreciated (but not required)—or show up via this Zoom Link at event-time.

This is such a great topic CRAIG JAMES... especially in a time when we want to explain, justify or defend. ?? I will not be able to attend this month due to a schedule conflict - but hope you will recap this powerful conversation to share the wisdom.
