   Communicators must keep their opinions out of hard news, but it's all good if you let folks know you're providing opinion. Though not as prolific as colleague Glynn Wilson, Sitton started sharing his thoughts prior to ever knowing what a "blog" did. He learned at an early age that columns provide some of the hardest writing a person can ever attempt.

   Not only must a columnist provide fact, but a story line for people to follow. While working at the North Little Rock Times, John Thompson taught Sitton that it's an intricate process to do a column justice. You can find his published work in his portfolio, but Sitton published the following thoughts on existence through Sitron's Fence and then Sitron's Post while traveling about America. At one point, Sitron's Post actually provided the moniker for his blog, but he changed that to -more- just to keep his own thoughts straight.

   Occassionally, life requires that we write to remove the bitterness that confronts us. Or maybe it's to keep from being overwhelmed by the joy we find ourselves experiencing. Sometimes, it's just that you've got to give a perspective that may never be taken seriously, but it needs to be out there anyway. C'est la vie!
