I had the opposite problem: I felt a steep constitutional objection to fluff, and writing with a length requirement was hell. Not because I was being lazy but because I was already kind of terrible (raised near-exclusively on the infamous 5-paragraph, 3-point plus thesis and conclusion, template) and then on top of that could not morally write garbage filler unless it was the very last minute.
… And that’s how I ended up editing on Wikipedia for 10 years where concision is the point and the real work is overwhelmingly in the research.
