When do you stop reading a message

People generally read what piques their interest. So if you can promise
early on that your writing will deliver on that promise then you are more
likely to get your writing read all the way through.

The color and tone of your language also helps. Think about traveling
to a particular destination. You really want to get there, not TRAVEL
there. But the airlines will sell you not only on the destination but the
process of getting there. I think great writing does the same--you are
promised a destination and made comfortable while getting there.

If you are invitin' me to be both shallow an' deep in an instant, then I gotta say I stop readin' most things almost immediately.

Stoopid, but even the illiterate are drillin' down on the pan-media usurpo of their doozy choozy, cos they figure they got a right to enjoy breakfast uninterrupted by drivel.

Nah.

No.

Nope.

Nyah.

Block.

Shaddaaaaaaaaaaap.

FO.

That is how it goes right now, the response to your insightfully beneficial (yet provocative) thrustin'.

Kinda kills romance stone dead, alla the flirtsy suggestive batted from its fluttery eyelids by

*** GET A BIGGER DICK FOR FREE **

(uh, oh, looks like I dropped one...








got it. *)

Phew.


So, hey — what was I sayin'?

Oh yeah — any message is a steppin' stone to some other place.

Jouney into adventure bids you jump on through.

So you gotta load up all your heralds soon as you can — because no one ever sounded a fanfare in advance of an aftermath.

Load up, load up, load up — an' prompt the first step onto the first stone.

Without that first intended leap from the riverbank, no one is goin' anywhere.

Power up their courage to jump, an' fortune is mebbe on your side.

But don't send the heralds home right now.

Fanfare over, they gotta strum an' drum up the beat to the next step — cos it is way too easy for people tempted by your offer to bail out now, especially with the waters of uncertainty rushin' down below.

REALITY CHECK: It is an abominable cruelty to subject such effortlessly optimistic creatures as are heralds stroke minstrels to the worst kind of perpetual drudgery, but unless you force those guys to sing an' strum their dicks off — at gunpoint — for the duration of whatever offer of stones to evident glory you got, then people gonna turn back.

Nah.

No.

Nope.

Nyah.

Block.

Shaddaaaaaaaaaaap.

FO.

Only this time they gonna have the luxury of retracin' their steps, confirmin' mebbe the initial doubt they had about jumpin' in the first place.

So I would wanna hit on the essence of the deal right away.

Strike up a chord, an' proceed with the melodious stamina of immortal heralditure.

Kinda BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!

An' later on, BOOOOOOOOOOP!

An' then, a little later, BOOOOOOOOOOP!

(Do not ask me what instrument the herald stroke minstrels are playin' here. They jus' frickin' are, ok?)

Write it in a way that leads the user from paragraph to paragraph, from section to section. Don't ramble on, don't go too far off on tangents. Don't be cold and informative. Be funny and humorous. Use bombastic and over the top language, and then write in a self-deprecating tone. Make fun of yourself and make fun of your users.

The best writing is the one that effortlessly (or so it seems) keeps the user advancing on to the next paragraph. Some of the best writing I've ever read online are stories contributed by users on Reddit. Not because the stories they told were that awesome, but the way they wrote the stories was amazing.

When I got tired then, I stop reading. The message that make me annoyed are not very unusual but there is not any interesting and attractive sentence that feels me excited. Then, I stop reading texts.

Everyone hates a wall of text and attention spans are very short. That is why most videos are under 1 min nowadays. Break up the message into 2-3 lines and include images to make it work. You have to keep the reading baited to the end.
