I learned a lesson recently.
I’m a web writer, so I’m very familiar with reading tendencies on the web. And one of them is simply this: Most people won’t read to the end of your article.
They just won’t. They’re busy. They’re moving. And you’re story is full of too many words with letters that go on and on and on in the form of sentences that take up the whole page. That kind of sucks, so people aren’t going to read all that nonsense.
I’ll put myself into that category. I don’t always finish reading articles on the web.
So when a bunch of people missed my April Fool’s Joke a couple of weeks ago, I shouldn’t be surprised. And I’m not.
But I do want to clarify that I WILL NOT BE READING FROM A LIST OF MEDIEVAL LITERATURE WHEN I’VE COMPLETED THE 101 BOOKS.
I realized the joke might have gone a little haywire when several people said they were “intrigued” or “interested” in my new medieval literature adventure. They obviously didn’t read until the end of the post. That’s my fault for not making it more visible.
No harm done here, but I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that I WILL NOT BE READING FROM A LIST OF MEDIEVAL LITERATURE WHEN I’VE COMPLETED THE 101 BOOKS.
Again, I WILL NOT BE READING FROM A LIST OF MEDIEVAL LITERATURE WHEN I’VE COMPLETED THE 101 BOOKS.
What will I read? Not sure yet.
Lesson learned for next year’s April Fool’s Joke: No medieval literature.
