I'll try to make each day worth it! Vered: Things will be shaken, not stirred. Marinela: Thanks! Hayden: I have a feeling the interviews are going to be a crazy amount of fun! I really can't wait for them. Stephen: Thank you! I think as humans we can be such willing slaves to routine. This can be good, but it can also keep us running the rat race as you well know. I'm not exactly sure where it's going, but I'm no longer willing to let it run in place. Laurie: Comments have no limit. Feel free to drop a thousand words. No kidding, I've had comments run long enough to turn into guest posts. Tracy: Always. That is very kind, Tracy. I look forward to entertaining you! : > ) Keith: I totally feel you. People don't always care to read us when we're long winded and often appreciate brevity. In many ways, Twitter has helped me to become a better writer. Cramming my thought into 140 characters is a lesson in precision writing for sure, one that I often need! Kim: LOL, thanks Kim. I’ll try to make each day worth it!

Almost all of my posts are about 1000 words. A friend of mine told me to shorten it to between 500 and 700 words. He was right about it increasing viewership, but I wonder if content is not being lost. It's possible that I'm saying the same thing in 500 words that I had previously been saying in 1000 or more, but if so, then I didn't plan it. Maybe being forced to keep it short also forces us to be more concise and makes us into better writers. Either it's that or we just cut it short, like you say, out of a need to be brief rather than concise. Anyway, much to ruminate on. Thank you for the daily dose of luz. .-= Keith Wilcox´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.almightydad.com/fun-stuff/songs-of-sesame-street/" rel="nofollow">Songs of Sesame Street</a> =-.

EEK I have left various lengths ranging from 0 to a whole bunch. I didn't realize that you were behind bars Sean. Please allow me to put the key in the lock and give it a turn. Who knows what you can produce in an atmosphere of freedom! But you rock where ever you are, behind bars or free as a jailbird! So is there a word limit on comments?
