You are a master of refreshment writing if I may so (and oddly just thinking about this in relation to that question we were playing around with a while back - one word to describe your blog...) Joanna Thanks for helping me out with the analogy Robert!

And it starts with the very first question: "For whom am I writing this?" The answer to that question give you the shape of the container, and possibly even the refreshment that goes in it. The next question, "Why am I writing this?" will give you the size of the container. Finally, "What will I say?" tells you how much to put in the container. Gee, this analogy is making me thirsty! :-) Absolutely positively it makes a difference, Joanna!
