Starting to feel a little insecure about the length of my opening post,[s] among other things[/s] I'm afraid I've spent a little too long in the worlds of Hemmingway, and I've noticed a significant drop in my paragraph count ever since... I'll purple up what I can.

Seriously. Is this really such a big deal? Write how you want to write and get over the length.
