Sub headings, no more than four lines in a paragraph, single line sentences are fine. Probably a bunch of things but I don’t think of it, I just do it if that makes sense.
Great advice as always! As a seasoned writer, especially in digital media, I can say you have hit the main points! Nothing hurts my brain more than to see either one huge block of texts or multiple paragraphs of block text.
Thanks Claudia for this insightful article! I wanted to add more elaboration to the 1-3-1 system that you mentioned for those who are not familiar
This is something that I try to use with my newsletter as well
1️⃣ Opening Statement: Start with a clear and engaging sentence to grab attention and introduce your perspective.
2️⃣ Three Supporting Points: Provide three concise pieces of evidence, examples, or reasons to back your statement. These should be brief yet powerful.
3️⃣ Closing Statement: End with a strong conclusion or a thought-provoking takeaway to leave a lasting impression.
"Maze-like streets of Buenos Aires", I'm gonna use that against porteños that says that the place were I live, La Plata, 60 km away from the Capital of the country, has a tricky map.
I wonder if it’s possible to create one or more anchor links up at the top of an article linking to sections farther down, so readers can skip to certain subtopics or to a TL;DR summary, etc. For longer or more complex posts, you could put a simple table of contents at the top, and let viewers jump around more easily.
Exactly! Sub heads and white space lets the words breathe.
White space - yes - I've noticed how hard it is to read long dense paragraphs.
that’s right 🤩

right?! :D glad that you agree 🧡
glad they help!:)
Does the 1-3-1 serve as a whole post? Or an intro?
1-3-1 can be a for paragraphs.. so I like to use it here and there throughout my newsletter/posts
I’d just like to say Claudia that I’m already feeling the benefit of this format. Thank you for introducing me to it.
oh amazing, thank you for taking the time to write this feedback 🥰
Design...thanks for this. I typically write in an other space (like Word) and then copy over and it's easy to forget this piece.
ah, interesting! thanks for sharing that as well
Story first, even in the tweet stylings of Cole.
The 3-act format is how we're wired.
The message is what pulls the reader through - with help from riveting prose...
Merci 🤍
very welcome :)

Thank you for people like you who take time to spread knowledge.
I am new here and want to achieve great things with my words.
I'll definitely be applying your recommendations.
amazing, that makes me super happy :)
Thanks for the tip. I’ll try implementing this in the next few post
fantastic 🧡
The best storytelling isn’t cluttered, it’s strategic. White space psychology helps shape not just what’s seen, but what’s felt.
Exactly 💯
This is super helpful. Thank you!
thank you so much!

Does anyone know if this is a current feature?
hmm, good question. I don’t think it is, but I’ll check it out!
This has been helpful!
I write as I talk and while I don’t want to change that, I want it to flow and be felt.
Thank you!!
🙌 glad it helps!
