    kaylar wrote a new post, Less is More; the Shortening of Word Count 7 years, 8 months ago

    Years ago, authors were paid by the word.  So, more words more money.   People expected a few pounds of a novel and a few days or weeks of reading.   In those days, More was More.

    Books of one thousand plus pa […]

    • One can write three hundred words but still it is concise. Short and sweet!

      • The interesting thing is that where a few years ago writing 1000 words was no problem, today, one becomes so concise that a topic is covered in 280 words, requiring one to go back and add.

      • Yes, one can write a 300 word article yet it already has taken all the important aspects.

        It is challenging to write more than 500 words. You must have the experience for your topic and very familiar with what you are writing for you to write that long.

        • In the old days people were in the verbose habit. They went around and around before making the point. Today it is very boring to read that kind of stuff.

    A special thanks to a fellow bloggers at Literacy Base, who published posts about historical figures and questioning why these people were recorded in history as heroes, which is a very good question. One post was […]

    • If that is the case with Alexander the Great, I wonder really why he is called the Great.

      Though, for those who died and were declared heroes or great, they never knew they became one. Their greatness or heroism is always recognized once they are are dead.

      Sad, but this is always the case, and I think you will agree with me.

      In your 30 years of life , you were happily married, but Alexander died . What a contrasting life you and Alexander experienced. 🙂

      • Yes I agree with you. What is even sadder is Alexander’s is sort of a mystery. Have read different accounts and some say it a murder and others say it was a disease. And as if his death was not bad enough, what they did to his wife and child after he died was even more horrific. He sure wasn’t treated as if people thought he was great!

    There was this chap who came from a family of achievers.  His parents were professionals, his sisters were professionals.  He was… not.

    • I hate airheads or braggarts. I distance from the, the moment I notice that he is one.

      You can never win over an airhead. It is already inculcated in his head that he is right and no one can beat him.

      Sad, that this attitude is what people don’t like in a person. he is being laughed at or hated when he turns his back to the people he was with.

    @Tracy, hehehe, you got the point there, before I do not like horror movies but later I realized that it is very much challenging, plus there is nothing to fear about for it is not true it is only pre entertainment and art.I also like to hear sounds of please and sounds of crazy people feeling sick of what they are watching, a horrible one,LOL.

    @siva, Ha? Why? I think it is fake for what those declared in a secret ad was psorifix as effective. Thank you so much for sharing this direct from you experience. Maybe that kind has some allergy to you.By the way, may I know the update of your psoriasis this time? Are you now psoriasis-free? Thanks and take care.

    • Like they say you never know what you are loosing until you loose it. It is very sad to think that her friemds could actually treat a fellow friend the way they did. If they would only be a bit considerate.
      But that is usually a problem when you live like 2 3 in a house or apartment that is bound to happen. There are those who will feel like they arw superior to everyone else. So they may take it that everybody else should do chores but they shouldn’t, that attitude is very annoying. I would expect everyone to take responsibility in the house and also help out whenever need arises. It was unfortunate that keery was no more. The thing is now they are the ones who will have to live with the guilt of doing her wrong. Kerry did her part and she doesn’t have to live with any guilt.
