Writing an Article

[killua]

I read many informations on the Internet that to put your name out, write an article. I want to know how many words is the most suitable. I made an article up to 900 words. Is that good number of words?

[MadHatter]

it depends what the topic is.........
If it is 900 words about the taste of your feet in the morning, then, no.

I'll try upload it on my website so you'll see.

usually around 500 - 1000 words (maybe even 600 - 900) is considered the average acceptable range at most places.

I know of one site that wants 1500 word articles, but that is the exception and not the rule.

make sure your articles use subheaders to break stuff up and shorter is usually better for most articles. make it as long as it needs to be to state your point and then when in doubt error on the side of less words.

Don't write more than you need to. Few people on the web are patient enough to read entire articles.

I already uploaded my article. Please read it at

What do you think?

[awall19]

the intro to your article is a bit jumpy. it starts off with be one with nature and then goes right into getting shocked by lightning. need smoother transitions from point to point

[Thanol]

Your intro seems to hint toward an article about how people should go back to living in hunter-gather groups rather than one about electrotheropy.

I'll change the intro a bit. How about the contents and the ending portion. It should be OK right?
