My usual (although probably totally unhealthy) habit of waking up and immediately (as in...within 20 seconds of opening my eyes) checking HN, gibsonandlily.com, reddit.com, and slashdot.com led me to this article. I read the entire thing from beginning to end (which is rare, for me), and thoroughly enjoyed the entire thing.
In fact, as I was reading it, I kept remarking to myself how much I enjoyed the writing style.
To each his own, I guess. It does frighten me a bit, though, that people make this complaint so much. What do people who can't be bothered to read a couple of pages worth of a story do when they are confronted by a book, magazine, or newspaper? (or a kindle).
I'm not a "nurturer" by default and so, after "x" has occurred (with "x" being different for each medium) and I've found nothing of interest, I bail. Different personalities and that's okay :)
