basically i abhor long form writing too
ok, let me clear up definitions. "long form writing" is when you write a text with the expectation that it's at least, say, 500 words long. intentional verbosity. like they did require us in school. "write at least 500 words about your opinion on laceless shoes"
that's mostly because i have experienced that that kind of requirement leads to bloat, but not to content. I.e. people don't say more simply because they use more words. It is in fact, i believe, the talent of a great writer to express much with little words.
Basically my ideal piece of text looks like this:
3-5 paragraphs, 1-3 lines each, and 1-2 images strewn into it.
