Thoughts?

I’m thinking about posting a larger piece of prose here on Tumblr, but I’m wondering if it’s worth it…should I post it all at once, as it should be, or should I cut it up so that people may ingest it easily? Do you think that anyone will bother to read a fair chunk of text sitting on their dashboard?

  1. blakbirdy answered: cut it up and release a portion each week. exciting! :)
  2. indifferent1303 answered: Try Slowly, A piece at a time. Most people would just skim through it if it extended too far down their dash.
  3. down14thstreet answered: yeah better to break it up into parts but still provide a link to the entire story
  4. puzzlingcreativity answered: Yeah, I think people don’t like large chunks of prose on tumblr. I think what works is separating pieces by topic, theme or impression

  6. justletusrun answered: Maybe use the “Read More” cut?

  9. jadenoelle answered: Break it up into parts. People have short attention spans.
  10. autumnsprout answered: I think you should cut it up. Personally, I find large chunks of text hard to follow. I get distracted easily. Sorry.
  11. dannybsblog answered: Putting it all at once as it should be. Your previous work should be enough to persuade anyone at this point to read anything you post.
  12. wearemostaliveindreams answered: break it up. long posts get passed up. at least in my experience.
