I've noticed that one of the main deterrents to posting several times per day is the drop in quality that some Steemians assume it will bring. I'm sure that it **can** cause worthless posts to be made but, well, *size isn't everything*. Some topics and types of writing are more suited to longer posts but it's not impossible to write something with meaning and impact that doesn't take up that many words.

When I write poetry, for instance, I mostly use it as a means to express an emotion. Sometimes what I want to express is profound, sometimes it's silly or even a little shallow. That's because it represents a part of me and there are many sides to me all of which have relevance. I wouldn't have very much fun with writing if I felt like every word I wrote needed to be amazingly impressive. But even in their brevity, the things I say have value (if only to me and the handful of other people who read them).

Basically, I would like for us to feel confident in saying what needs to be said or what we'd like to say, whether it takes 10 words or 10,000. Just make them authentic.
