Deborah wonders if poets need to do a “better job of writing with an audience in mind.”
Seth suggests that people might improve their writing if they think like bloggers. He offers 9 tips:
- Use headlines.
- Realize that people have choices.
- Drip, drip, drip.
- It’s okay if you leave.
- Interactivity is a great shortcut.
- Gimmicks aren’t as useful as insight.
- Don’t be afraid of lists.
- Show up.
- Say it.
What would happen if poets adapted those nine tips into their poetry?
