Reader headaches occur when the author has lonnnnnnnnnnnng, run-on sentences that make me work too hard to decipher. I just read an 87word sentence. It made me cfazy.

As for writing, I'm much the same. Keep away from distractions and fuel up on all God's goodness. This post was a timely reminder of that. Thanks, Susan.
