It's a good reminder for me to let the language do the talking, instead of the jargon do the confusing. I adore Jane Porter and how she conveys her excitement and how she feels and thinks about events in her life in a way that makes me think, "I know her. I like her." You definitely <i>want</i> the reader to identify with you as the author, because a personal connection is a bond that'll make the reader stay with you through hard times and a lean book (god forbid!).

And a very easy thing to forget when you're blogging. We're used to talking to friends we have already "educated" on our world and people love to short-hand in conversation. We forget that perfect strangers wander into our sites. For some of us (ie me)this is particularly challenging! But as you point out, worth the effort.
