Posts Tagged ‘Writing’

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.
