Personally I abhor the trend of needing to create a complete personal story out of every experience. I am not interested in several paragraphs of where the author happens to be in life, how their morning went and all their personal relationships and thoughts where I am really interested in the topic they're supposed to be talking about.
I read to expand my views, not to feel artificially connected to whomever the author is.
I prefer the writing style in this piece over most articles on Vice, TBH.
- homonculus1 7y agoI too hate long-form writing, I cannot bear to read it ever ever ever. If you need to flex your imagery chops on the reader that badly then write fiction, otherwise get to the damn point!

Only later that day I would learn that it was actually for his dog as he is a big and naughty fan of them" Articles that start like this make me puke. Go and write a book if you want to be a writer.
