Publishing my article
Knowing that I was going to publish my article didn't effect what I wrote. I already had that mind set, so it didn't need to be changed too much. I posted my article as a note on facebook. Only one person commented. I think the subject of the article was intimidating, because who really cares about an analysis on planning a wedding magazine? I thought more people would read and comment, but I guess not! I think the length was intimidating. Maybe if it was shorter, and on a different subject it would have been read more. I think my audience was artificial. I don't know anyone getting married, or else I think it would have been different.

I agree. that was a problem that I had. It was too long for someone on facebook to want to read.
ReplyDeleteI agree with both of you, i didn't put mine on facebook, but i think generally these are just a little too long and academic to be a easy read for the audiences we have access to.
ReplyDeleteWell put Kendrick. I took a journalism class in high school, and the writing style is totally different for a real audience, rather than just an academic paper.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone, and i also think that the fact it was about planning a wedding must have pushed most of the guys away. And all your friends on facebook are probably not quite there yet. So I understand why you wouldn't get too many responses. Then again I didn't either and mine was not on weddings.
ReplyDeleteI think its the length that intimidates people, because people read all sorts of posts, just the length gets to them for some reason.
