I was once told I am TOO WORDY.

I shared a short story with a friend who was taking literary courses in college who felt that he had the authority to criticize and came up with an expression of being TOO WORDY . Like being called LONG WINDED, too complicated, drawn out, monotonous, etc. I felt all kinds of emotions with that one. I have to say he may have been honest and true with me but it was painful to take. Now, have you ever tried to write something and later try to edit it so that it took up less space and had fewer pages? Often I have trouble with my titles. There are ways for me to shorten a title in a discussion but doing so would likely be misleading or too vague to the reader before their interest in my post was enough to bother reading it. So I guess I can do like they say do on Twitter, keep the characters at a minimum. So that said, I could use more acronyms, abbreviated words, shorter sentences or even limit my titles to just under 6 words, right? Google search engines seem to be more advanced today then in early times. The search engine, BING and WEBCRAWLER also are going to use BOTS to find your articles based on the simple al - gore - rythms of the current era.
