When I originally submitted that article to Notes From NOAH, the editor faced the same challenge. He finally came to the conclusion that he could not cut ANYTHING out without destroying the entire structure and flow of it. And I tend to agree. I believe he DROPPED a bunch of other articles in that issue to make room for it in its entirety.
Sorry that much of the world has a "Readers Digest" attention span, but the complex issues and the necessary quantity of words needed to explain them fully will simply have to pass them by.
I tend to think in images. When I read books, I form actual pictures in my mind of what the words are saying. Honestly, there are some instances where I could not tell you if I read the book or saw the movie. It is all the same to me. So I guess when I take the time to try to write well, I try to do the same thing with my words. People who can only see the print on the page will probably not like to read very much.
