How To Stop Writing Long, Long, Long Posts

Look at my last long, gangly post. In this content-mad world, I sometimes forget to keep it simple.

Today Jeffrey Yamaguchi--a zen master blogger compared to our sprawling posts--introduced me to the elegant site, Making Happy.

For the last four years, the writer and gardener Gayla Trail has published a picture along with a short short story relating to the image. Nothing more, nothing less. Her archives are entrancing.

Stop writing and check it out...

"I try and post a new picture everyday. Sometimes these pictures are accompanied by words relating to the image or random thoughts from my mind. These are by no means my BEST pictures. I chose what to post here more on a whim rather than as a need to feature The Best. I LOVE film and square photos."

Long posts? Try 15,000 words.

I like long posts though. Keeps me from doing actual work for which I might get paid. ;)
