I find it easy to plod, but Oh my God, so hard to be nice and stay concise.

Short pieces are definitely more my style. I get annoyed with myself if my pieces end up going on and on! The pandemic pieces I did recently ended up being longer than I envisaged and I found it really difficult to cut as I was telling someone else's story - I didn't want to leave out parts they considered integral to the overall story. It's much easier to cut when the writing and the concept is my own! Difficulty I'm having now is what to do with some shorter pieces I'm working on - struggling to think who might want to read this stuff that really I'm writing for myself.
