THE END OF MY LONG FORMAT
BLOGGING ERA

Over the past year | have been winding
down my longer format blogging on
BeBee, Medium and Biz Catylist.

It very much appears that my interest
has morphed, from essay writing
to fiction writing. Since | started writing
blogs and other longer format essay type
stuff, | reckon | have done close to 3500
pieces. That's more than enough.

So these days I'm content to do little
wordy memes like this, very short ones
| call telegrams, and text posts in FB & LI
that that seldom surpass a couple
hundred words. It seems people no
longer have the attention span to read
long pieces of opinion. So when | need
to cough up an opinion, | prefer to make
it short and sweet. Like this.

#1 I appreciate the sentiment. It;'s just that at a certain point it becomes a question of where you want to spend your time. I have written 11 stories over the past year, ranging in size from 22 to 209 pages and I have never had so much fun. The best part is that there are probably only a handful of people who will read them, but they will read them vertically. 

It is true that people read less and less, or as I say, they read diagonally. There is too much information and young people's content consumption is reduced to photos and videos, especially on Instagram and TikTok. Still Jim, there will always be followers like me 😎

Can I cheat and use Google Translate?
