Less is more

I had the good fortune to pop into a friend's house yesterday to sample a quiet ale. 
Sitting around his dining table, he asked how the writing was going.
  "Okay," I said.
  "Good," he replied, before adding.  "I enjoy your blog."

There was a moment's hesitation that preceded the inevitable 'But'.  I encouraged him to continue.
  "Well," he said, fumbling for the kindest way to frame it.
  "Go, on, just say it as it is."
  "Okay.  They're a bit... long."

So, in the interests of brevity.
