That's why I wrote a less than 500 word short fiction story the other night. Because I posted it to my blog, I took more pride in it, but because it was so short, I didn't feel like I was just throwing away good work. But I agree with you about writing essay style as opposed to writing about a response to art or even just writing about art. So you should take the compromise (Like me!) I'm trying to learn to write critical essays about the films that I respond to, starting first with All the Real Girls. I thought I'd be able to crank it out last night, but turns out it is a ton harder than I thought; but in a good way.
