It seems, in this continual battle to understand proper form that I err on the side of two extremes: by writing in the fashion that is too simple, or writing in a fashion that is too complex. The form of my simplicity or complexity varies depending on my experiment, but in general, I'm anguishing over the tension between clarity and depth. I think now, there may be a way to reconcile both. I'm able to write with some measure of depth, using certain types of tools for clarity in the margin, and within the text. I'm conducting a series of writing experiments to try and determine the best method, and the most effective way.
