Retro DoFuss.
See, less that 250 words... Not counting these.
If you are new to DoFuss you may be unaware of the sites beginning. Initially the concept was that all posts would be exactly a hundred and fifty words. It was very restricting but helped me form a more concise writing style, something I believe is essential when writing for an Internet audiences who have so many other sources of information vying their attention.
About six months after beginning the site I moved to longer articles. It was a move that allowed me to be more expressive, but which demanded considerably more of my time. It followed that the number of posts lessened as my time was sucked up by the longer pieces, a problem compounded by some of my energies being directed to writing for other sites.
But I kept playing games, and now there is a backlog of titles I want to talk about here on DoFuss. With that in mind, and because I think revisiting a more limited writing style could benefit my writing, I am once again imposing restrictions on my articles.
For the rest of May, and maybe June, DoFuss will be adopting a new format. While it is to be more flexible than the old hundred and fifty word system, the essence of brevity is to return by restricting (most) posts to between two hundred and two hundred and fifty words (give or take).
With any luck by the end of June I will be all caught up.

HA HA, a noble effort, but now you’ll spend all those extra hours editing your essays down to 250 words. best of luck though.
Yeah, I am already getting that. But we shall see soon I guess.
Also you still need to take me for Kobe sandwiches.
First you need to surface from your hidey-hole so we can do something together. I haven’t seen or spoken to you (directly) in a month.
To true, plus there maybe problems next weekend with a sudden clash of events.
We will get together soon though, life will be more simple when Hana’s blood tests are back (I hope).
Sounds like a plan
I have to try and stop reading your posts from my rss reader and start posting comments on my thought too
That would be good.
Er… I didn’t write that comment. But is says Darren. WHAT’S GOING ON?!
