So true Brie. With so many things to read these days I need some way to weed out the ones I want to spend time on. I think of tl;dr like the back of a book - if I'm not intrigued by the synopsis I'm probably not going to read it. - Katherine

I like that. TL;DR is like reading the back of a book to see if we want to read it. Thank you!

Thank you Jay! I'm glad it resonated. Would it be helpful if I built a little guide to help us remember to write these summaries?

I would appreciate the guide. Keeping track of the guide may prove difficult for some who get buried in all the writing tips they collect. Like those short summaries, the guide should not be too big either. If I could print it out and stick it in a visible spot near my PC, that would help me. Everyone will be different though.

I am willing to be sounding board for you on this, if that would help.

Thank you! I will get working on it and try to make it short, sweet and to the point so it can be sticky note sized.
