I Think The 250 Words Or Less Experiment Was Excellent

On December 5th, I decided to limit my blog posts to a maximum of 350 words.

Before that, I edited them down to an average of 600 words.

The 15 posts from that point each contained 350 of my words or less.

So, on the 17th, I decided to reduce the limit to 250 words.

The past 16 blog posts have all been at 250 words or less, and this one will too.

I think this was an excellent thing for me to do.

I used to kind of "go off the rails" as my mind hit on related things briefly while I was writing. 😅

The 250 word constraint definitely keeps my writing more focused and hopefully that makes it smoother to read.

I think I'm satisfied with a 250-word limit even though the idea of reducing it to 175 has crossed my mind.

Maybe I can just set a goal to write a few posts per week that are 175 words or less.

And this is the first one. 😃
