Proven Writing Rhythms
Improving the way you format your writing is the fastest way to accelerating your growth
as a digital writer. You would be astounded at how many people write and publish
content online that is really great, but never gets read simply because of the way it is
presented.
But formatting is only the beginning.
Headings, subheads, and bulleted lists are the visual cues that are easiest to spot. But
there is another aspect to formatting that rarely gets talked about and is equally
important.
Rhythm.
What separates writing that is fun, easy to read, even musical, is writing that alternates
rhythms—fast vs slow, quick vs descriptive, etc. The more your writing alternates
between opposites, the more movement it has, and the more the reader feels like they
are being taken on a journey (opposed to hacking their way through a textbook).
