REVISITING THE COW

Remember what Mama told you about men and their "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free"? The same wisdom applies for writing and other works of art. If you make it neat and tidy, if you leave no loose ends or room for possibility, your reader will get fat and uninterested. Today, write something more open-ended, something that gives the reader some credit and leaves him or her with something to think about.
