I've realized that recently my posts have been a bit long and rambling. I shall correct that with this post.
Concision is a
Quality worth having. Though
It can cause problems.
I can be concise if I want to with ease. However, there's just so much to write. It can be problematic though. For instance, in that haiku. I thought of those first 11 syllables, and then needed to come up with the rest. And then I did. Here's a few examples in which being too concise can lead to complications: concocting a Constitution for your country, conducting a hostage negotiation, sitting on the wrong side of a police interrogation, debating, writing a 40 page research paper, or doing stand-up comedy for a 30 minute block ("okay let's see, 5 minutes in? Crap, I'm pretty much done"). In any case, concision can be valued in blog posts. Unless they suck. Rambling and respectable is better than tedious and brief (the 2nd part is a reference to A Midsummer Night's Dream. There's no reason why you should know that though).
