My WRITE Instinct
Itsy bitsy teenie weenie like a skimpy yellow polka dot bikini!
A writer with the proclivity to parlay 562words into my upcoming Women’s Fiction novel, AN ENLIGHTENING QUICHE, I’ve put my shoe on the other foot when it comes to marketing and promoting. Let me invoke the KISS method – Keep it Skimpy, Stupid!
According to “Attention Span Statistics”- http://www.statisticbrain.com/attenti...
The average attention span is 8.25 seconds.
The percentage of words read on an average 593-word web page is 28%
Point of Fact: I put much thought into creating engaging daily posts for my Facebook Author Page. Checking Insights for 08/02, my post had a 306-reach with only 13 post clicks and 23 reactions.
By and large, no one gives a rat’s patootie!
Hopefully, potential readers will be more responsive when my novel is published and I’m able to conduct a Book Launch Giveaway Event. When I actually begin the process of promoting at pertinent sites, I’ll practice the KISS method. And, you can be sure my official book trailer will be scantily clad of words.
Citing the 8.25-second rule in exercising my penchant for brutal honesty:
I rarely read stories or articles posted at Authors Den exhibiting words crammed together without paragraphing due to a formatting issue. I am not keen on scrolling through literature with miles and miles of words. Therefore, I will never post Chapter 1 of AN ENLIGHTENING QUICHE in its 17-page entirety. Nor do I expect to post it in segments either. If what I’ve alluded to thus far hasn’t interested anyone by now, so be it.
While I highly respect kindred authors in my social circles at Facebook, I shy away from watching any author interview videos I’ve noticed are twenty minutes or more in length, no matter how revealing. On the other hand, I enjoy perusing question & answer interviews because one can ingest them in under five minutes.
Yet, I won’t pander to anyone’s attention deficit by churning trending “shorts” in the guise of novels. I intend to follow my WRITE instinct when acquainting the public with my upcoming release because most people, like myself, don’t care to drown in a sea of words.
