Title: Verbocity ~ The Bane of My Life
Post by: Snoopy on September 16, 2011, 04:19:53 PM: I am setting out the magazine .... if there is one thing I hate when reading a magazine it is getting into an article only to find "Continued on page 63" and having to leaf through to find the last paragraph.
SO I set a word limit of 650 for any articles submitted...... Because I can fit that onto one page.

This month 6 YES SIX people have sent in articles that are over 800 words. Banghead Banghead Banghead

This means that I am spending hours re-arranging adverts (which normally sit in the same place month on month) to fit things in on facing pages so that the readers do not have to keep thumbing back and forth to find the last paragraph or two of the item they are reading.

B@ST@TRDS! cussing:

Thank you for your attention ..... I feel a little better now.

Breath in slowly ..... and out .... repeat 6 times. Take valium and move on.
