When composing, I tend to work from the standpoint of development.

So length is dictated by the type and amount of development spent on the thing.

There are other factors, of course.

For example, sometimes I find I've developed in a wrong direction, or developed too quickly, or developed not enough, etc.

I think that there are many different ways that one can think about it, work it, different approaches that can still lead towards the same goal in the end.

I know a lady who just simply seems to pop up with it all at once, and a lot of her stuff leaves me in awe.
