Every Set of Eyeballs Wants to Hear

Category: BloggingJeremy Wright @ 7:41 am

From the (just edited) Chapter 1 of my book:

every reader is there by choice, every reader is choosing to interact with your business and every reader is a set of eyeballs that wants to hear more from you.

Yep. Eyeballs that want to hear from you. Thank God for my reviewers and editors. I can be such a dumbass sometimes ;-)

    A semi-colon or two would help as well.

    Hey, that scans way better than “every reader is a set of ears that wants to see more from you.”

    If you’re anything like me, Jeremy, you use more words than you need the first couple of drafts. I find most of what I do in editing is simplifying and reducing, then going back and inserting all the transition statements that I thought were so obvious they weren’t needed.

    You should start releasing sentences one by one daily just to keep people on the edge of their chairs. ;)

    Heh, that’d be kind of fun actually. There are a few really good “out of context” ones that I’ve written.
