Ah, this was me when I first started blogging, after having written for pharmacy journals for years. In the medical world no-one does things, things "are done" to patients... all very passively, at least in print. Over the past 5 years I gradually put more of myself into my articles and now I especially love talking about personal experiences. For example, my piece about being bitten by a plant was a bit hit! Great article, David... Right on the mark with good advice for writers!!

Thanks, Jeannie! I can imagine writing for pharmacy journals is at least as bad as writing for computer science journals (which is what I did for years) 😂
