I had suspected that you painted or the like. I find that painting, drawing and such, seem to have an effect on one's photography. I believe that the same can hold true for the literary arts, that writing poetry, even bad poetry, seems to work wonders on one's prose. There are exceptions -- see Whitman, Walt -- but it seems to hold.

Obviously, I'm rather fond of your prose as well, so in the realm of anecdotal evidence supporting my pet theory, you qualify as a twofer.
