This will be short

Firstly-- sorry to the loyal readers--I didn't blog yesterday. I'm running around crazy right now trying to get a craft ready for opening night tonight.

Secondly-- since I don't have much time, this will be a concise little entry.

I was reading an article a couple of days ago about how short most people's attention spans are, the writer claiming that less than 5% of the people who begin reading something online navigate away before the end of the article. While I do agree with this, I couldn't help but analyze this article itself. It tried to be funny by attempting to "call back" the readers who had left, but it was poorly written and executed.

I couldn't help but think-- ya know, if you wrote better (and in a more precise fashion) people would be more inclined to read the rest of your article.

Maybe our attention spans aren't getting worse--maybe most things on the internet are becoming less worthy of our attention.

Just some food for thought.
