The Tricky Balance Between Writing Too Much and Too Little
I have a problem.That is, I have a writing problem. I have a tendency to go on long-winded diatribes. Expanding past the point of no return.My guess is because I’m a fiction writer first, and the devil is in the details.Online writing is a balance.It requires you to expand enough to cover the details and be short enough that it doesn’t bore your readers.A quote from Winston Churchill comes to mind:
A good speech is like a women’s skirt; long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest.
Good writing is the same way.It’s a tricky balance between too long and too short.You don’t want to go too far in either direction. That’s why writing is an art.
