I Write Too Much

I feel like a character in an Aaron Sorkin drama. They talk too much. Despite how much I try to cut this blog's writing to its bare essentials, Tiger Cafe seems like the wordiest blog I know.

If you count all the articles and excerpts I quote, this blog averages around say 15 to 22 pages a week. That's in plain text. Adding cowriters has boosted the page numbers. Multiply that by 52 weeks, and Tiger Cafe churns out from 780 to 1140 pages a year! If you get that far without konking out, you'll almost have read enough crap for the Lord of the Rings!
