RE: Are you the drunk girl at the bar?
This had me reading through the whole way. Analogies are always really powerful.
Brevity is one of the toughest aspects of writing. It's tough to know for sure whether people will interpret what you mean the way you imagine...if they even read it...so I just figure that misunderstanding is fated either way, and chop off half of everything I write. but sometimes might as well keep the length; does it always matter if someone reads all of a short post or the same length of a longer post? Depends on whether the material has a definite beginning, middle or an end. If it has no "end", keep writing lol Besides, people will at least skim and read the last few sentences.
Thanks! I was kind of scared to post this. I wasn't sure how receptive people would be. I actually cut this article down a LOT. I was hoping it didn't lose it's meaning.
It is so hard to kill your darlings.
You make a point with people reading short vs people reading that same amount of a long article. I just hope people understand they need to get to the point before readers miss out on it.
Great comment. You get a follow on that alone. I'll check out some of your work later.
Sometimes you have to strangle your children in the crib to make room for better children.
