A good blog is like this item of clothing ๐Ÿ‘—

The best quotes are both funny and true, and therefore memorable. At the end of this talk good on conversations, Celeste Headlee credits her sister with this quote.

A good conversation is like a miniskirt; short enough to retain interest, but long enough to cover the subject.

The sister might have borrowed the idea from Winston Churchill. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I think the idea generalizes to writing too, so I’m going to adapt the spirit of this quote for my own purposes.

A good conversation blog is like a miniskirt; short enough to retain interest, but long enough to cover the subject.

And it’s working. I already deleted three sentences from this post – and added this one. ๐Ÿค”

Before I forget, here’s a salacious photo – as required – to catch your attention.
