I had lunch with an old friend recently and quoted Richardson to him, which reminded me of my neglected post series. Here’s one from Vectors 3.0:

“143.
The audience is faceless, back rows disappearing into dimness, and it doesn’t talk back. Find your audience and you will blather. Write, instead, to the listener at your table for two, the one in your head whose faint blush, half-smile, glazed eyes make you correct course in midsentence, back off, explain, stop to listen.
”
