I'm working on the last part of my little series on church and government, and I can't get it under 7 pages single-spaced in WORD. And I'm not happy with it yet.

Where's the beef?

Do like Stephen King did with Green Mile.
Serialize!
Er... like I hear Stephen King did.
Not that I follow such things.
Based upon Dan's recommendation I am going to read all of Stephen King's works.

Frank. Just . . . post . . . segments. Part I, Part II, Part III. Yeah, it's the lazy man's way, but it works. Besides, remember that this culture has great difficulty reading anything longer than a haiku.
*Talk amongst yourselves.*
Is it ok if I talk amongst myself?

Even with the margins at .25" and size 7 font?
Oh, that's funny. You've been talking to my wife about how I "shorten" my sermons!

If only we could do that to the blog.
In Firefox, we could use the CTRL+scroll wheel to do it...
Get to it, man.
Greg,
Frank should try writing it out longhand on a legal pad, preferably with a fountain or dip pen.
I think that would be a motivator to shorten the copy.
I guess with the open forum, I might be able to benefit from some folks' previous travels.
My Great Aunt and Uncle proved to be truly "Great" when they decided to pay for our honeymoon, which we'll be leaving for this Saturday. We're going on an Eastern Mediterranean cruise that starts and stops in Rome, and goes to Messina, Athens, Ephesus, and Crete.
I've done my research and have places that I know to check out in each of those places. But if any of you have any recommendations on where to go -- particularly places of biblical relevance -- I'd be welcome to hearing suggestions.
I know Phil's got his kid's nuptials coming up, so he's probably not checking up on us too much. So Dan and Frank, if you'd prefer folks not to answer on the thread, just say so. Then, guys, just email me at the address in my profile.
Thanks,
MIKE
Why not just write "presbyterian" with a definition and lots of references from the Old and New Testaments? That should significantly cut down your number of pages and you could increase your font size :)
When words are many, transgression is not lacking,
but whoever restrains his lips is prudent. Proverbs 10:19
Frank...why don't you just "leak out" the Government stuff and then "separate" it from the church stuff...
Seems rather simple to me...
Why use M$Word to write for a blog? I realize not everyone is enlightened enough to use vim, but Word? Word is such overkill for writing.

Et tu, Brute?
It's almost the opposite of what we...I mean, what some people did in college to lengthen their papers: wide margins, courier font, size 13...
Greg...
For those of us before the computer era (yes, I know.. imagine that) we simply increased the space a little bit...sort of...er, um...not really!
Change to tiny font...expand the side, top and bottom margins and MAYBE you can shave off a couple of pages. :-)

Blogger meltdown
Now, you stop
New and improved haiku for the short-attention-spanned generation...follows the 5-4-3 scheme instead of the 5-7-5 scheme! :)
Susan,
LOL! OK, I'll try again...
Glory to God
Edifying posts
Does Emergent see
Hmmm...
Hotter than the sun
Pyromaniacs
Word ablaze
Eh...I won't quit my day job... :-)
Is WordPerfect still around?
Or you could be like Phil and not use a computer and write it on a Mac, of course, then none of us would be able to read it.
or could you, Frank, write it on a private practice blogger account?Then copy & paste to pyromaniacs for draft review by the team and then to click for publishing? :-)
Gilbert...
Oh, for the days of Leo Tolstoy. ;)
I've always been impressed with the Puritan's wordiness and often marveled at their command of the language, but when solameanie made mention of the dip pen, it sunk home just how much time and effort went into their works.
Little is much sometimes Frank!
Thanks
Mike: Congratulations!
Sola: LOL!
Wow, did this meta go all over.
