Hello friends, I am popping in to ask a question. How long should an article be? In the movie "The Big Chill" Jeff Goldbloom plays a journalist much like a writer for "People" magazine. He says that he does not write anything longer than "people can read during the average crap" (or something vulger but true like that.) Anyway, my question is this: I am often asked why I told, as in "Why did you feel you should tell your story (of childhood sexual abuse) so I am writing an article titled "Why I Told: Revealing the Secret of Incest." Once I start writing, I can go on and on, so I would like some suggestions from you as to how long the article should be. My audience would be ezines, or even an article for NABBW resources section. I'm sorry to pop in just to ask a question, but I promise I will be back. Thank you, L, PL
