- I don't need to think too hard to come up with titles, they're self-referential and refer to the fact that I'm writing those mostly to reach the post-count goals I've set for myself without feeling to bad about the whole think, unlike other formats which make me more conscious about cheating.
- They're real easy to fill up the page with. A two-line break after every point means most of the point is going to be empty place that's going to look a lot more impressive per time spent writing it versus a more compact essay or reflection. There's other formats that I could play around with, but it's the least space-efficient and that's the way I like it.
- The points can be short and they still occupy a large space so it's quicker to finish the post.
- They can be easy to write the funnies with because I don't need to think of an entire scenario, just a one-time throwaway line or joke will go a long way for the readers, and the hardest I'll refer to a joke in the later points and the readers (in my mind anyway) go wild.
- It gives me hope, when I know exactly when a piece is ending I can go ahead more confidently aware fully that it won't be as bad as I fear and it'll be long gone before I ever will have known it existed.
- Some points don't even need to be related to the topic and that makes writing easy and I guess making writing easy means the writer can be lazier and put in less commitment, not sure that's what I want to tell to a close friend or a sister but right now that's how things are...
- Can always go back and change the title and the number associated with it if I have a really hard time coming up with the number of steps for so-and-so, though I've been told the longer they are and the more elaborated the ridiculous chicken-killers.
- It's like junk-food snacks...easy to make and easy to consume, and even though it won't give you true nutrition and sustenance it's a good idea to get yourself checked regularly!
- Who doesn't like crappy templates formats from late 2000s and early 2010's amirite people?
- I have quite a lot more experience writing those so they come easier quicker to me, when I need to do a journal entry from scratch I actually need to think about people interacting their motivations and why and how things would workout. Arlington is not for you.
