God on Oprah this morning:

“I don’t regret the Flood, but I do regret the Ark.”

Not in jest. Simple honesty, from her.

Well, yeah, but that is everywhere, stratified though out every institution, on all levels. All you have to do is organize and it will follow. It enters in affecting everything. At most one can be aware, try not to add to it, or exploit it. There's always choices involved, knowing puts choices up front, for good or bad, roads are taken. It's a choice, otherwise known as a decision.

Q

 

[Quadman2]

On another note...and not music-related..."Why are chapters in books today; only a page, page and a half in length?

Lack of reader focus? Bored readers? Moves the plot along? All? None of these?

Just a "random" thought this day, eh?

Q

The length of a chapter helps establish a deliberate "pace" the author desires, which is especially useful with genre fiction, and books written to be contemplated as you go. As a fairly voracious reader, I can say that just about every book I read varies in this respect. Not only from book to book...but also within books.

Cheers!

So, you are indicating that it's the genre that is the reason for the shortened chapters, an NOT the capability of the reader to deal with the longer offerings?

I know that there is some research out there, sharing that there is a lack of attention in societies today.

Some authors can wander off to a foggy place if they are not careful with word overuse.

Can you clarify "overuse" as to just being wordy/repetitious or an abundance of descriptors?
