I've written maybe 10-20k words in the last two weeks. I anticipate that people will read at most 250 of them.
Why so many when they'll read so few:
1. Annoyingly, they all will read different sets of 250 words.
2. A lot of it is "let me establish that I have thought this through and have a plan." They read 250 words and skim a few more pages to establish that, see that there are 27 more pages, and go "great, xe has this."
3. Because _I_ want to remember what the hell _I_ was thinking.
@hrefna From your writings on hachyderm, I'd expect that you could have a good series of long form blog posts about any number of subjects.
Would people read it? maybe not, but you're writing for your own benefit (2+3); you need to do (3) because 6 months from now you need to see your own chesterton fence.
Personally, I can only write long form because I use far too many characters to express myself.
