What is your motivation for asking the question? Have you been criticized for not getting to the point or perhaps you're critical of others's verbosity! Would you be interested in co-writing a steemit short story? :) https://steemit.com/short-story/@arbutus/the-short-story-block-chain-experiment
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
@arbutus, not specifically-- just the general experience of writing for the web and encountering a lot of site owners and content hosts who are more interested in theoretical "best lengths" than whether the content is actually any GOOD. And then being told things like
"We need you to write an article about the life and times of Sir Winston Churchill; you have 300 words!"
Me: "300... words?"
Them: "Yes, that's the length of online article research shows is most readable."
Me: "But to write about Churchill would take...."
Them: "Doesn't matter. We just need 300 words. Can you do it... or not?"
Me: "Bite me."
As for the short story, I like the idea... but fiction was never really my gig. But I'll still check it out.
