My pleasure, your comment got me thinking about the process of creating long content. The stringing together of sentences.

You make an excellent point about paragraph length. I reminded of this awesome quote from copywriter Gary Provost:

“This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important.” - Gary Provost

Aaaaannnd you make another solid point about... well... actually getting to the point. I could probably work on that a bit myself.

Since the headline is so important, and it often sets up the entire 'promise' or premise of what people are expecting to be delivered inside the article, I probably should write the headline first... but I often don't, lol. (Hence the rewrites.) We all have our own process, eh? I like yours, inspired by photos, and I love emotion in a headline, so, kudos!

Glad you enjoyed! 🙏
