Yes, I always write short. That's why it has been difficult to consider getting a traditional book deal for a 70,000 word memoir (by a nobody, my friend informed me). I am done at 44,000 words, and to be honest, I could make it even shorter. I would sooner show more photos of the time I'm writing about, and give more insights into what worked for me to lose the weight and keep it off. I think people would prefer that to the long, long, padded out version.

This resonated with me. I'm publishing a memoir, but in addition to that, it was suggested by my editor and publisher that I write a short book about my personal experiences in the faith. I'd never considered something so short, but here you are confirming that! Have a blessed day.
