Weighing Words

Ironically, while electronic storage capacity is apparently near infinite, meaning that people can upload their writing without worrying about the space constraints of print media, online attention span is shorter, meaning that people who want to have readers need to pack more punch into each word. Thus, I've made it a goal to write shorter blog entries, forcing me to weigh words more carefully. The more I value each word, the better my writing becomes. It's better to have my mind focused by a constraint such as length than to wander around aimlessly in search of a point.
