RE: The Man With No Name: The REAL Biography

in #writing7 years ago

Well! That was not the introduction I was expecting, but well done, it kept me engaged and reading all the way to the end!

I got the feel of the narrator - a dry-throated, gruff voice - so that's a great start to dragging the reader in.

My advice is always to read and re-read before posting, but as I am one for editing after posting, I can't say too much about that practice ;)

The only thing I can say with regards to this is the spacings. Sometimes, there seems to be no space between words.

with@themanwithnoname...

(And I personally prefer a space after ellipses, but... personal preference).

I'm so pleased you've decided to join in. How about an introduction about the guy writing about @themanwithnoname?

Looking forward to more of your writing.

Dang it! I was so impressed with myself. I read, and re-read the article, but didn't read again after publishing. Pride goes before the fall, right? Ha ha. Thank you for pointing that out.

I believe I figured out what went wrong. Apparently the space after the ellipses is optional in life, but required in Markdown. That's what caused the issue. I like how you showed an example in your explanation.

We'll see if "The man behind @themanwithnoname" makes an introduction. He's still figuring out Steem and trying to determine how much of himself will be revealed! Regardless, he plans on presenting a character that's as engaging as possible. :)

Side note: I use :) fairly often in my commenting. I try not to use it in my posts as I think I should be able to communicate my thoughts clearly without the use of emojis. However, in commenting, I try to be a little less formal and want to make sure I'm communicating my tone. Thoughts?
