One thing I wish people could understand is how much effort it takes for me to be concise. It frustrates me when people criticize me for writing too much or being too verbose.
It takes a heck of a lot less effort for me to ramble out a long series of paragraphs than it does for me to condense that into better writing, eliminating redundancy and increasing clarity.
And when it's a social media comment, seriously? I'm not getting paid for this. You want me to make my writing more concise? I'll happily do it. You pay me $135/hr and I'll do it. Otherwise STFU.
