“This is a hallmark of my writing. Others struggle to get their work edited out to a reasonable length; I struggle to ‘pad’ it out to the minimum number of words to be considered a novel. If brevity is the soul of wit, I’m a freakin’ genius.”

Laz — I enjoyed it. Reminds me of sci-fi novels I read growing up.

The brevity is refreshing in this world of self-important people who won’t shut up. Your fewer words style is perfect from my perspective. Less can be more.

Great just as it is but I sense there is room within your fertile imagination to get even more creative and more weird. I suspect you will. Go the distance.

Great job!

I wish I could say I chose this style, but I didn't. It chose me.

I liken it to Hemmingway; he tends towards brevity, too.

Oh, you just wait!

Great job!

Thanks!
