I prefer less email. After cleaning 4500 emails out of my InBox, people who’d message me 6 times for what they could put in one only add to the problem. Either they’d drag out the information over weeks instead of a day, or I’d get shotgunned with posts. Those accounted for most of the 4500 emails.

I do try to keep posts shorter for the general stuff. Blogs have always been as long as people are willing to read, I suppose. I have run into 500 word blogs that made my eyes bleed and didn’t keep my attention and long posts that I am happy to leave open in a browser and read through on breaks.

To each their own, and thank you so much for the comment.

Hi Deborah!

Um, I would totally listen the heck out of a podcast that meandered over those topics! LOL. The trick is to find the umbrella theme/gimmick, for example: “Literally, What in the World” with Deborah Makarios. Just like with defining the key elements of an author brand, we do the same thing with creating a podcast.

For example, Drunk Mythology Gals is a ‘divinely funny podcast.’ Our other tagline is, ‘Gods behaving badly. Mortals behaving badly. Everybody behaving badly.’ But we have covered everything from the ties between mythology and the science of near-death-experiences, to actual readings of myths from the Eddas, to a countdown of the top ten ancient Greek aphrodisiac foods. And in our Patreon, we did an episode about Jungian psychology because we referenced it in talking about trickster tropes in mythology.

I’m just saying don’t write off the possibility just because there’s not a ‘single thread’ topic to focus on. 🙂
