Some things you say remind me of William Zinsser, my hero of how to write non-fiction. I find that I'm more inspired and have better ideas after I go for a run. The discipline to write everyday is important. I find that something worthwhile (to me) materializes if I just start writing. I edit later. Looking forward to the next part in the series!

Have you been talking with a person and you want to scream at them, "Get to the point!" Same thing in writing. We have short attention spans and if the article isn't compelling or useful, it will be skipped. #1 is so true.

And then probably give myself a relapse after I realize how I can improve my Wii-tennis serve. Incidentally, where in Rhode Island are you from?? I was raised in Cumberland (and just came back from there and Pawtucket where I spent the holidays). Small world! “shut down the Wii”

Of course, interesting things (and people) can show up anywhere, but it doesn't hurt to push the envelope a little.
