Just read this — Your Writing Can Go Viral Regularly with Only 200 Words | by Tim Denning | The Writing Cooperative.

The interesting thing about the piece is that it argues, in more than 200 words, that you can go viral in 200 words.

Two-hundred words is not a lot. I mean, I am already at sixty-four, and I haven’t said a lot.

What would it take to go viral in 200 words?

What could you say that had any depth or meaning?

Two-hundred words would take less than a minute to read.

Has our attention span got to the point that we can only read for less than a minute and can no longer consume long-form material or posts?

Actually, I must admit, I am struggling to get to two-hundred words. I am currently at only one-hundred and fifty-three, and I am running out of things to say.

So, what are your thoughts on a two-hundred-word post? Too long? Too short? Or just right?

Why not leave your comments and views below?

OK, eight words left.

What to say?

Thanks for reading this post.
