Charlotte -- This post was very good and at least for me timely. I recently shifted my writing on Substack to be MUCH MORE focused (read shorter). What I have found is by setting out with an intentional plan has made a change a lot easier. Watching the word count while I am writing has turned out to not be a burden but part of the ritual. I feared shorter would mean I would say a lot less. What I have learned is the brevity sharpens the point you want to make. I kinda like it. Of course your practice has a much broader applicability. I think when I pivot to focus on writing a book, this will be a great help. Hence, I marked it for followup. Thanks.
