TLDR
“Reading is HARD…..gawd”
Writers will tell you few things are as frustrating as a reader giving feedback saying, “Too long, didn’t read”. After all the self-editing and further review by an objective editor who slashes the work even more, it is apparently too long for you. Your aversion to boredom is that strong, I guess. Lack of focus must be an issue for you in general, since — at least in my case I’m pretty sure — the writing is fairly interesting.
One skims a reference work instead of reading it as one would a book. It’s meant for skimming. Writings of prose and poetry as well as articles like mine and those of other authors on platforms such as Substack and Medium are offered for you to immerse yourself in them for a few minutes. Most of them take between 3 and 5 minutes to read. The articles even tell you how long they are before you read them.
“Too long, didn’t read”. You’ve got to be kidding me.
