And that's the shortest version I could come up with! I thought about a 2-3 parter. I could have drug it out for 30 pages... I have to keep reminding myself, This is Steemit- short attention span theater!
I have a really hard time writing short posts (I am getting better). In college the profs used to yell at me when they'd give out a 5 page writing assignment: "5 pages Quitliano, not fucking War & Peace!"
I get caught up in the mindset that I haven't developed my argument well enough and lose track of how much I write. I've had to go back and insert paragraph breaks- some wind up being 3 pages long lol!

Opposite of the norm! Notoriously in teaching circles, most kids pad their writing to get up to the word count.

Boy $12 not one of my more popular posts I guess!
In my case, it's brain-dump complete with digressions and self-derailments :)
Poor you...
