Decaf Content?
Keep the zip in your writing by not removing the caffeine component
“Is that all there is to this story?"
That’s exactly what I said a few days ago after I read an article online.
I thought there would be more.
I scrolled down and still couldn’t find what I thought would be the rest of the story.
I even tried to find a “read more" link that I might have missed.
But, no, the story had ended. It didn’t last nearly as long as I thought it would.
What happened?
It’s like taking the caffeine out of coffee and thinking everything will be fine.
It’s not going to work!
This past holiday weekend I had a conversation with someone about coffee.
“I have to switch to decaf coffee after noon," I said.
“Why is that?"
“It’s so I can sleep at night,” I answered.
And this is true.
I’ve had too many sleepless nights when I didn’t get a wink of sleep because of caffeine overload.
What does this have to do with writing and creating content?
Well, don’t leave out the strong stuff. Your stories need a power boost.
