Shorter thoughts

Sometimes the mind is blank and it is impossible to come up with anything — at other times there are too many thoughts.

Writing shorter is usually harder, because it focuses to distill the idea and trim unnecessary details. That trimming is significant work also.

Actually, I was thinking: flow state can help you write more, but not as succinct. To write shorter, more focused thoughts maybe it’s worth stepping back from the flow.
