RE: Writing Short Meaningful Posts... Works for Some, not so much for Me

in #writing8 years ago

Yeah... and I think it also depends some on your choices of subject matter. Telling a joke is as long as it is. Telling a story, or sharing a point is as long as it is. "Describing a forest" is incredibly open-ended... as are many "experientially based" topics... My own approach is definitely "tainted" by years of being a content creator in the age of "spun content" created for no purpose other than to gain Google search rankings. That stuff annoyed me SO much I'm almost allergic to "generalized filler."

Sort:  

I am so glad that Google has found ways to deal with the "spun content". It was really crowding the search results for a while there. I like content, real content, too. And it irks me no end to see the exact same (or nearly the same) text in blog after blog after blog, where information or misinformation just gets passed around in the same way. It's a big problem in trying to find details about eating wild plants or unusual garden foods. I think that's why I emphasize my own experience with those things here on Steemit. Here's to real content!
