Sometimes I'll write something and wonder if anyone will notice how I used my words. In case you're wondering the same thing...I saw and appreciated your clever wordplay!
Most "experts" will tell you that people will only read short articles, and there is ample evidence to support this idea. Yet, my Substack is quite a daily read and it's doing fairly well.
I'm terrible at brevity. It seems odd because throughout my life I've mostly written short articles and short stories both of which require judicious use of words. However, lately I've just accepted that I'm going to write what I feel I need to write and accept the consequences whatever they may be.
I’m always under the stack of stacks, but enjoy the ones I take time to read. I always enjoy your posts so you must be doing something right. When a post gets too long, I scan and that’s all I can offer. Always catching up, but blessed to be able to read so many great posts. Appreciate you!
I think I actually like this approach "Concentrate on a few salient parts." But I also like a balance between saying too little and saying too much. Thanks for your reflections!
You are right, it is important to be both concise and comprehensive. It's hard to not go down the bunny trail with the details and I often have to remind myself to 'get to the point'. Some of the fifty word challenges and feedback from other writes on Substack certainly helps!

I recall Laura saying that she originally thought she was marrying an English teacher. I get it now! Excellent read!!
