If you are expecting people to read every word you write, then you may want to rethink how you write. The "F" is for how fast people scan through online materials as they seek out something that may catch their interest.
You may have the catchiest title, compelling information, or controversial topic devised for sharing with others. However, if you do not take into consideration the "F", then people will not read your materials.
Fans Saturday night at the opening of Charlie Sheen's Violent Torpedo of Truth: Defeat is Not an Option in Detroit opted out of the show and some reportedly left after just 15 minutes. Many of those that remained booed the actor off the stage that after an hour ended when Sheen never returned from a musical break according to a BBC News report.
Charlie Sheen, 45 and fired from the hit-show Two and a Half Men last month, opened Violent Torpedo of Truth show in Detroit Saturday night as the beginning of a tour of 22 shows, 20 of which are in the U.S. and Canada, according to BBC News, and if Saturday night in Detroit was any indication of the level of success Sheen is going to experience from the show, perhaps Charlie Sheen may experience reality after all.
CNN reports that Ticketmaster lists on its website 19 shows in 18 U.S. cities with 3 shows in Canada, corroborating the total number of whos listed the BBC News report. There are minor differences of infornation between the two reports in the number and location of the shows, but the single major difference is that the BBC News report makes reference to Sheen's "sold-out" tour, whereas CNN makes the following statement about ticket sales:
"Initial word on ticket sales was that the [Detroit] show sold out in 18 minutes. However, prior to the first show, tickets were still available on Ticketmaster as well as the secondary ticket market, which includes online ticket exchanges like Stubhub.com and TicketNetwork.com. Unwanted tickets available on those sites were going for less than face value prior to the show."
"Charlie, Charlie, Charlie... when will you ever learn that people never like to hear the truth?" With 21 shows left on his tour, who knows?
Using term "critical" in relation to critical essay does not imply that you will have to attack a certain work. One can create a critical essay that wholeheartedly agrees with assigned literature. The word "critical" describes your attitude when you examine the reviewed work. Such mind-set may be termed as "uninvolved analysis," which implies that you consider the coherence of the literature, the completeness of its desribed events, and so forth, before you accept or refuse it.
If you are a writer, all you're supposed to do is sit down, open a plain word processor and write. Wrong! Other people think that a writer only needs to be creative and commit to a daily working schedule, but you know it's never that easy.
"Writers have a huge advantage in such situation: they don't have to leave their jobs to engage in such pursuit. As long as they have a laptop and the right writing tools with them, they can translate the daily revelations into words and become more productive than ever throughout their journeys."
We talk simply. We use normal words, and are sentences are usually quite straightforward. But put someone in front of a keyboard, and there's no telling how complicated they can write. So much business communications comes out as gobbledygook, whether it's an internal memo, a job description, an instruction manual or a letter to customers.…
The benefits of plain language are huge; the costs of complex writing are equally huge. This case study looks at how we can improve readability just by replacing a few common complex words with simpler alternatives. The results are impressive.

Consider this situation: you are an ardent blogger with wonderful and innovative ideas to present to the world. You start a blog where you build your content with the utmost care and spread the word across social media. You even use some amazing content writing services who provide you with solid content. However, your blog isn't getting the desired traffic.
Is this your story? The blog visiting traffic is a moody one with a special brand of impatience. Today's readers are more likely to scan through the content before deciding to read it in detail. This is why, as a blogger, it is important for you to capture their attention within the first few seconds. Studies have shown that the first 8 seconds are key towards deciding the quality of a blog.
What you need to do is to present your content smartly so that you can get your point across without compromising on the objective of the blog.
If you hate ebooks, that loathing might attach to their dim screens, their wonky typography, their weird pagination, their unnerving ephemerality, or the prison house of a proprietary ecosystem. If you love ebooks, it might be because they are portable, and legible enough, and capable of delivering streams of words, fiction and nonfiction, into your eyes and brain with relative ease.

Truth. Journalism. Has there ever been a time went those two words need more to align with each other than today? In recent years, the term "fake news" has ensnared the public discourse. People are finding it harder and harder to distinguish between real news and fake news.
We were drawn to Caleb's story because it hit hard at the concept of fake news. That made his short story both timely and fundamental to what writers - especially journalists - will grapple with over the years to come.
So, your strategy should be to add images every 100 words or so, and add text to at least one image, ideally your featured image that gets picked up automatically by Twitter and Facebook and LinkedIn.
Writing cursively causes the brain to develop neural pathways and to regularly reinforce them, making your brain quickly process the information coming in from your ears and eyes, creating a better listener as you make notes by hearing or reading, then forming whole words and sentences, constructed to convey a concept.
Unlike many younger people today, I remember using typewriters to do all of my writing. This manual process was considered to be a great technological leap from pencil and paper. Try finding a typewriter today, good luck!
