I don't think I know how to be non-verbose and still say what I intended unless I initially write a longpost, and then methodically trim it down (which is essentially what I do with my production-writing; I actually trim them to keep them more compact). :-P In practice, though, the posts themselves don't take that long to write (I don't think I've ever spent as much as an hour on a single character's piece, though I often take breaks before switching to the character). Such as my post yesterday was written in probably half n hour total. It's more about finding a time when I'm not either too tired or too distracted or both. And oh, I could tell you about a couple of RL incidents I were personally there for even from only the past month... It's a mess. Trust me, it's a mess and sometimes you don't even need to try. (There is a joke about us Estonians not knowing what physical money looks like that's over half a dozen years old, too, so your place's not an exception by any means... I certainly use digital signing far more than an actual pen signatures, too. Pen signatures are definitely easier to forge - among other things, I realized one of my current boss's looks almost identical to mine as is...)
