I have been guilty of some long ones but often when reading short ones, there's nothing really stated. What I don't like reading about most times is the writing process from unpublished authors. I definitely don't like reading book reviews.totsymaehttp://www.totsymae.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26945675.post-85895752286091063922012-01-02T14:22:34.400+01:002012-01-02T14:22:34.400+01:00I visit a lot of blogs, so long posts kind of turn...I visit a lot of blogs, so long posts kind of turn me off.
