I can't do short. Be it stories or sentences, I always end up with too much. (My average length for a fic is between 16K and 60K (!); the shortest I've EVER written is still over 2K.) As for sentence length, I've learned to stop and cut up once I reach 4 lines or so. *facepalm*
May have to do with being ESL, though -- my native German tends towards long, intricate clauses. In short, Hemingway I ain't. :)
Oh yeah, and add me to Adjective/Adverb Abusers Anonymous, please. *sigh*
