This result shocks me. I can’t write a short blog post to save my life. Which is really weird, because I’m not all that long-winded in real life (though I’m betting some people dispute that! HA!), but when it comes to my writing, I just don’t shut up.
And there are so many times I’m writing a blog entry and I think to myself, “I should really shut up now, and I will, right after this next point,” and of course, I don’t because something else occurs to me and I feel compelled to write it out. So, I AM aware that my blog posts are often times too long, I just can’t help it. Once these fingers get going, there’s no stopping them.
Like THIS entry for example, instead of writing all of this I could have simple said, “I disagree with this result.”
See? Short and sweet.
Apparently, I don’t DO short and sweet. π
What about you? Do you feel like you talk too much on your blog AND/OR in real life?

I don’t have word counts on my posts, but I’m not very verbose at all. I had a friend who could spend 30 minutes telling a story. I could tell the same story, will all the same information, in 5 minutes.
My writing is the same – short, sweet, and to the point (for the most part).
Yet this quiz tells me that my posts are 51% LONGER than the average blogger.
I think, indeed, the quiz is messed up.
HAHA! I love it. I agree, I’m calling foul with this quiz because I too find it hard to keep my posts under 2,000.
“I will get a 30+ minute lecture on the history, usage and many examples.”
That is too funny!
My husband’s blog posts resemble novellas. This quiz claimed that his posts were 80% shorter than the average blog post. I cry “Bullsh*”! If I ask my husband a simple question, such as wanting to verify the correct usage for some punctuation, I will get a 30+ minute lecture on the history, usage and many examples. So, they can’t tell me his posts are 80% shorter than average. He struggles to keep his posts under 2000 words as it is!
You mean for those of you with short attention spans! π
Still think you should summarize your posts with bullet points for those of us with not enough time to read everything.
