Why this is short (douglastarr.com)

I've always written concisely. Throughout my grade school years, I had a really tough time writing papers that had a page minimum: because I would always say what I needed to say early on - getting right to the point so to speak.

Now, one could argue that my writing was organized poorly, and that's why I said what I needed to say so early, but I don't know. I feel like I get everything out as quickly as possible.


The irony:

> You will choose your words more carefully, and make less mistakes.

Should be "make fewer mistakes"

Thanks, fixed. :-)
