Writing Long and Short

I'm going to the Tate tonight. Crap, do I need to book? I'm not even sure what's on but my money is on something strange that a man like me will never fully understand. So I won't try. I'll keep my opinions to myself and try to pass as someone who can appreciate this kind of place. It's a good place.

So that leaves another day at "work" to get through., sat in the bar at Gutshot trying to look occupied when the boss walks in. I am occupied, but it's one of those jobs where you quickly sense that you're really using skills you don't have. And skills you don't have are called weaknesses.

Corporate writing. Where the hell to start? I'm dumping adjectives and verbs when I can and keeping it short. Long words are in there, naturally. That should be enough. Get it done and don't look back. No, that doesn't work. I tried that last time. Must focus. Stay calm.

Then two articles to rattle off without feeling like a hack. But where else would you want to be than at the coal face working in the dark?
