| I think that short-form writing is important (I tend to prolix, so it's not my strongest point). I was always told that any proposal or explanation that is to land on the desk of a VP or higher (most companies, but the one I was in, was General Manager, or higher), needed to be a maximum length of one page, and not dense text. I have written a lot, over my life, but I tend to write fairly long pieces[0]. This has meant that I go fairly long periods, without writing, as I get involved in a project (like right now). I've recently started a new series, entitled "shorties"[1], that will hold very brief writings. These seem (to me) to be woefully inadequate, but I'll get it. A good exercise, for me, was the idea of a "mini-saga."[2] [0] https://littlegreenviper.com/miscellany/ [1] https://littlegreenviper.com/series/shorties/ [2] https://www.danpink.com/2005/05/mini-sagas-another-approach/ |
