How to write a topic

I've decided to write this because there are way too many people who don't understand the dynamics of journalistic writing, and reviewing. So please, follow my tips, and I guarantee more people will read your nerf posts. [b]Make your point immediately[/b] When writing a large whatever you guys write, people will most likely not read the whole thing. That's why, it is imperative that you make your most interesting and compelling point immediately. For example, if you would like the thorn to be nerfed because the poison does too much damage over time, it would be much better to point that out right away, than to say it in the middle of a paragraph. [b]Space out your paragraphs[/b] It is incredibly taxing on the eyes to write in one large paragraph. It makes the piece look so much longer than it actually is. No matter how interesting your argument is, no one will read it if it's all in one paragraph. That's why it is important to create a new paragraph for every new point you make, even if it isn't entirely that different from your main point. I'm sorry to keep using the thorn as my example, but I'm about to do it again. If I think thorn should be nerfed because it's range is too effective, the poison does too much damage, and it's way too overly used, those should all be separate paragraphs. Although you may think to the contrary, it is much better to have too many paragraphs than to have too little, so just keep that in mind. [b]Make your points stand out[/b] If you have an important point to make, and it doesn't fit in your first 3 sentences, bolden it. Because while I guarantee most people haven't read this whole thing, I'm sure they've read everything that's bold (unless they stopped after the title). But don't overuse it either. [b]Never use all caps.[/b] It'll make you seem like you're yelling, which just doesn't work. Remember, appropriately boldening points will ensure that people at least get a general idea of your argument. [b]Use proper grammar to the best of your ability[/b] Grammar error ridden pieces will be picked apart and not taken seriously. I'm sure you can slide with a couple, but please try to do the best you can. Remember that you're means you are, and u is actually you. I'm sure just doing that correctly will make your topic more compelling. Well have fun guys! And good luck on getting people to read your nerf posts! Maybe people won't think you're 10 anymore.
