Yeah, we like it out there... it's our oasis, in the middle of suburbia.

The "sweet spot" seems to be about 500-800 words that stay somewhat on-point. I find that relatively easy to do, as a result of having written for both print and online 'zines for many years... even though most of my writing tends to be flow-of-consciousness. The really long posts only come if I am trying to convey something that is not improved by breaking it into multiple parts.
