    Seriously, you have to be more concise than that. We didn’t purchase one of your novels to read over an afternoon, we’re browsing a comments section of an online form.

    “We” who, bro? If you’re not reading the post, don’t read the post, maybe it wasn’t meant for you, if you don’t wanna read it, I dunno. But also, in the words of blaise pascal: if I had more time, I would’ve written a shorter letter. I’m not gonna waste like an extra hour, on top of the thirty minutes I already spent, to try to compress my thoughts as much as possible. If people are interested, they can read it, if they’re not, then they can go read some other dude’s comments.
