[quote=@HeySeuss]Ironically, Hemingway had a very sparse style of prose. He is honestly one of the reasons I try to chop it down to the essentials. I am always trying to fix run-on sentences and other embellishments. It's a never-ending thing.[/quote]

I look up to Hemingway when it comes to minimalism without losing quality also. That's what I call writing with class. :P

[quote=@HeySeuss]Professionally, when writing e-mails, I do that because I'm trying to keep them as short as possible. People get too many e-mails and have a very 'tl;dr' mentality as a result. Typically, five lines is the golden mean.[/quote]

Yeah, especially with how people are being fed with info overload 24/7, there's barely anyone who would spend too much time reading pages of thesis-like writing when that can be summarized in a few well-chosen words. Like, I have school, so I can't possibly neglect my studies to read long-winded writings - that's unproductive to my learning.

(I'm still having some trouble to keep my rambles short, but peeps who have talked to me know I've been trying my best.)
