I learned for myself, all over again, that one can't please everybody.
If I write a long post, a friend politely suggests that the language seems 'laboured'. With the really short piece yesterday, I was asked in the office if I was short of time, or getting lazy. I will have you know that it takes more effort to write a small piece than a long one.
So how short can a piece of writing be and still touch the reader?
Six words, if you are Ernest Hemingway.
