It's probably a sign of how deeply insane I am that I'm taking a break from writing to blog.
Do you know that it's much harder to write 600 words than 2500? Trust me.
Do you know I had an article for a magazine I used to edit due today? Neither did I. I should write these things down.
Have I mentioned it's harder to write 600 words than 2500? I started with 2500. I have it finally whittled down to 708. I'm staring at this freaking thing and I can't bear to cut one more word.
Perhaps I should buy shoes online go walk the dogs and clear my mind.
Perhaps I should stop leaving so many things to the last minute and completely forgetting others.
2,500 words on ANY subject is too long. People have short attention spans. :)

If that were true, no one would read books. And all my highest traffic blog entries are the really, really long ones.
Not that I'm suggesting 600 words isn't the right length for a column. But not everything is a column. And I find longer things easier to write, which is a seperate issue from whether or not anyone would like to read them.
