I actually agree with this statement. I've been so USED to writing extremely long novels (non published lol) short stories, and even poems. But I realized that the longer they are, the more dragged out they seem. Long novels can be really great, but sometimes it can get overly complicated for both the writer and the reader. Recently, in college I've been challenged to write a short 50 page novella in my course. I thought I would hate it (because it had to be so short) but I actually LOVE it way more than my 6 unfinished 150 page novels 😂 The simpler really is the better, and most likely a lot easier for the writer and the reader to connect. Thanks for sharing!
I 100% agree with you! I like short books, articles, and essays. People like things to be easy to read and quickly move on to the next thing. That's why I write 1-minute devotionals. That's what I enjoy reading and writing.
Shorter books should be easier to write, too. I struggle to keep things short, but I'm working on it. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. Now, if I can just write that short book. 🙄
It makes sense given the move to more short-form content in general. I think people are realising that their points can be written with less space, so minimalist books are definitely very welcome.

I think it's a real positive thing, it's how I like to read and write.
