How is it possible that people have the ability to write up long, extended stories and as you get half way through you think to yourself, [i]"HOW IS THIS SO BOOOORRRRIIINNNNGGGG TO READ?!?!?!?!"[/i] I'm not asking for every post to be non stop action or in depth detail, but there is a point when there is too much, or too little, told about the events taking place.

Maybe people just need to step away from the PC for 30 minutes when they finish writing and come back to reread their work so they can realise that their post can be improved. Formatting helps as well with paragraphs dedicated for certain topics rather than repetitive 1 sentence listings, or, splitting your massive super block of text into multiple paragraphs so that it doesn't feel like you're reading an essay.

Quality! Quality is number one, always! If you can make any reader desire more of your work you are doing it Right, and the reader won't care if it's a long post or a short post. A good writer can make any person read pretty much anything!
