Bert,

"Writing experimentally" is a grand objective. That said, I noticed something about your Signal today. With few exceptions, you don't use adverbs -- this is good.

Verbs are honest, the stronger the better. Adjectives are useful, but should be served up in moderation, with caution. Adverbs are a sign of dissembling, thus to be rooted out.

Writing constitutes a bridge. From the cacophony in our brain to the chatter in our reader's. Made coherent by anticipating the capacity of our reader to let us in.

In thanks and appreciation,

Alan
