Good question. I just focus on the title and write from there.

I can get a good 300-400 word article out in a few minutes by just freewriting on the topic in the title.

This gives the article a nice conversational style while still remaining relevant to the topic at hand.

Great thoughts on this topic, Chris. I like to think of it as teaching or explaining your point during the article, while still leaving the reader wanting a little bit more.

Back to the basics. Yes, we must always stick to the basics. We are writing for our readers, that too, international readers; not for our self indulgement or an exhibition of our skills, knowledge and prowess. The readers must finish the article with a feeling of euphoria hungry for more. Else, the author will be finished!

Chris
I love your last point

‚¬“‚¬“Have I delivered on the promise I made in my article title?‚¬

This is going to be the first question I will ask myself before I submit my next article.

Titles are so important and a good title with proper key wording, word plays, alliteration or rhyming words sure does wonders to the article read counts.

Ah, “the promise of the article title”…I find myself altering the article title after having written the article!

Sometimes, I am laser-focused, other times I end up scrapping the entire post because it’s so spread out. That’s the fun with blogging, I guess.
