Wow Deb, congratulations!
I love reading your stuff and to be honest, at the moment I need it ADHD style. With a toddler and preschooler filling in much of my day, I don’t get much time to read.
Of course, I’ll still read your longer works, it just might have to be done in shifts!
I’m glad your trip to Sydney has been inspiring.

Is that a vote for short and sweet or occasionally rambly 😉

A bit of both 🙂

Congratulations!
I’m a lurker online for the most part – there’s so much noise without significance already that I don’t want to add to it. That said, I’m commenting here because I think this s really important. My 2yo has a short attention span and that’s ok but I hate to think of her at 12 having the same span because of how information and entertainment are presented to her. I know when I was a student I read widely, including books that are now too tough for me to get through as my time and ability to concentrate has shrunk. Its harder to read longer pieces now and harder to pick out salient arguments and notice bias as I have become accustomed to skip around online.
Without the ability to concentrate, reflect and absorb it’s difficult to think in a mature way or to be truly creative. And both children and adults need that skill.
So yes, I vote for longer pieces too and will figure out babies and toddler to get time to read them.
Thanks for a great blog.
