Long Blog Posts




Most of the time, I can't make myself read long blog posts. C'mon, people, keep it short and to the point, is it that difficult to do? Granted, some subjects require long posts to be properly addressed (no, what someone ate for lunch (without providing a recipe for something really interesting and yummy) or what they feel like eating or how they went to the bathroom with all the details doesn't fall into that category), but quite often, people just get lost in their train of thought, or fill up the post with various things, each one of them interesting by itself, but too long when put together.

It could be that my attention span isn't what it used to be. It could also be that, when tired after work, I have no patience for long blog posts. If I want to read something long, it's going to be a book. Or, it could be that sometimes (most of the time, to be honest) I'm not in the mood for a long post.

Unless it's as beautiful as Amanda Palmer talking about her and Neil Gaiman's wedding. And no, dammit, I'm not saying this because it's about a wedding and I'm a female. Go see for yourself -- it's a beautiful post whether you care for weddings or not.

How do you feel about long blog posts?
