h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Somedays I'm struggling to write for this challenge. Other days, I have so much to say that I could fill pages. At the moment, I'm trying to keep all my journal entries at a similar length.

What do you like to read, length-wise? Short, sharp and snappy or lengthy, detailed but well-written?

Depending on responses, I may change the thinking behind my current journals.

I'm so absolutely rushed for time right now that I'd rather the shortish ones. Usually I prefer a medium-length piece. I don't mind a long piece if it is broken up into manageable paragraphs. My old eyes get fatigued in the middle of long paragraphs. But that's just me.

Paragraphs are p- p- hmmm... ah! Paramount! Unbroken huge blocks of text give me

Not sure about where to set the limit of how many paragraphs I can plow through easily though...

I love the long ones.

Biased though

I love all of them. If its long and doesn't grab me, I'll skim. If it's long and does I'll read. If it's short and sweet I'll generally read.

I like the variety.

Broken up well into paragraphs really helps me though..for the visuals.

I generally now here break stuff up much more because I find it easier to read.

about 8 inches long seems to be about right...

I'm working on the basis that the journal needs to be the length the story fits into. That doesn't help at all, I know.

Paragraph breaks are essential, whatever the length of the piece.

I'm with Ivan on this one

Sorry not very helpful

I am enjoying the variety most of all so can't put a preferance on length, or anything else

except paragraphs, I struggle without them

I'm really struggling to read all the journals at the moment, so I'm usually pretty pleased to come across a short one so I can read it and comment or just leave my calling card, and move on. I don't think I'm even managing half in a day. Today I'm struggling just to read all the conversations on my ps before I start on the journals.

My own journals are the length they need to be. I try not to make them too short, at least a couple of paragraphs, which I've succeeded in doing so far.

I've been varying the length and style of my journals, but generally not more than 3-4 paragraphs. Paragraphs and breaks between paragraphs are important, especially on longer entries. I have been having trouble keeping up with reading them lately, but that's cause I've been too busy.
