I also find it horrendously difficult to be concise. I just have too much to say

In any case - good post. One of the most difficult tasks I face as a content writer is being concise. While I haven’t had any complaints from my clients (mostly because I’m acutely aware of this potentially fatal flaw), it’s very apparent on my own content at times.

I, too, have found people tend to like “short and to the point” content as opposed to definitive content. There is absolutely a place for longer copy (or detailed info), but that should be optional content for the readers, not the main piece.
