A more positive view of one writing gimmick:
http://supervalentthought.wordpress.com/2007/12/23/hello-world/
"Think about a phrase that resonates. A supervalent thought is a thought whose meaning resides not only in its explicit phrasing, but in the atmosphere of intensity it releases that points beyond the phrase, to a domain of the unsaid. A supervalent thought produces an atmosphere in the world, makes an opening in the potential for apprehension, consciousness, and experience."

Reminds me most especially of some other blog I forgot to save which was very very short leaving much open to the reader. Although it ultimately annoyed me as it simultaneously, from being so short, seemed to be very dismissive of the anonymous people it talked about.

OTOH, not blathering on, leaving a sense of mystery, leaving room for the reader to make it pretty, to add their own symbols, to put in something to love, etc, just seems to make for better reading. Blogs and writing in general that blather on are both more honest and more... self important... painful... pedestrian... everyday ultimately and thus too real. Not good reads...
