rants and lists

It starts to ramble toward the end, but replace "cartoonist" with "writer" and the first half of this rant pretty much sums up why I write.

I admit to #6 and #9 in my own writing (or, at least, the first drafts and blog posts).

I'll add a #11: Starting sentences with "And" as an indicator of something important going on. It's a shortcut that can be effective, but overuse turns the prose flat.
