RE: Contest – “WRITE a PHOTO DESCRIPTION” – To celebrate my reaching the F-2000 club (Win 10 SBD, 100% upvotes)
Congrats for your achievement, hope thier is more to come. I couldn't follow your Rule no. 3 as there were oceans of thoughts coming in my mind and I tried a lot to keep it shot, I hope you will not mind it and if it's very lengthy please inform me before the contest ends , I will do few alterations.
This is over 800 words. Please try to get it down to 300 or so.
When I write, I often delete sentences and even paragraphs after I write them. Part of effective writing is throwing out words that you created, but that turn out to be IMPROPER or SUPERFLUOUS or EXCESSIVE. I know, it's hard to delete them after you spent time and effort creating them, but that's one of the ways to produce effective writing.
Also, please divide your final text into several paragraphs. That's another way to make it easy for the reader. You will notice that my Photo posts and my Lou Reed Lyrics posts all have very short paragraphs, and most of them even have a heading. I do that for one reason ... TO MAKE IT EASY FOR THE READER.
Of course, I could simply write my text and combine it all into one long, confusing paragraph, and not bother to compose any headings. But that would mean extra work for the reader, and that would mean that fewer people would read my posts.
Hope this helps. Look forward to your abridged version.
I will do alterations accordingly
I made certain alterations is it okay now? I nearly deleted half of my text
Yes, it's OK now.
