So here's my deal: I'm really wordy. I have a lot of thoughts in my head and I'm a fast typist, and I end up writing quite a lot.
I write quite a few blog posts. You wouldn't know it from looking at this site, but I do write a lot of them. Most of them don't get published. Why not? First line, second sentence. I'm a wordy guy. Shouldn't that work for my post count, not against? Well, in theory...
