Attention

Everything we do needs to have some kind of effect. If we want people to continue to read our work, we must give them a reason to do so. If we can strike one chord, they might come back. If we can get one reader to think, we may have a return visitor. It isn't so much to want the attention; it is to do something that will keep the attention coming back.

We could again go into all the presentation aspects of writing. Spelling errors and grammatical errors might cost us readers. Structural error can irritate readers as well. Let's face it; if we want our readers to come back, we have to be damned near perfect. We have to give them reason to come back.

So, we have our work cut out for us. We have to produce a quality product and then we have to promote that product. I'm still working on more information about the promotion. If you go back through my archives, there are a number of articles along the way about writing and getting inspired.

Strive for perfection and then go out and gather your flock. Good luck!
