Often I don’t read the headlines that comes up on my home page when first accessing an internet session; a few of them are just plain outrageous!
PETA reaches out to Honey Boo-Boo
Bee Venom Mask: See Wacky Beauty Products
Craig Speaks Out on “Gay” Bond Chatter
There may be a lot of Bond Girls who will challenge that last headline for certain!
Yet it’s the headline itself that gets the attention. Who cares what the actual article has in it? You may not even read the article because all was said in the title.
How many times do you read the article only to find the headline was not necessarily ambiguous, but a bit multi-purposeful?
Now, I didn’t read any of the articles of the headlines mentioned above; frankly none of them interest me. However, I do expect my readers to open up the article from the great headline I dreamed up, while the smell of irony fills their senses as they take in the words grouped together in sentences, and then paragraphs.
Whenever I hear “headliner,” I think of Deloris Van Cartier; you may remember her as Sister Mary Clarence, aka Whoopi Goldberg in Sister Act. “I am not now, or have I ever been a showgirl. I am a headliner!”
One day when I’m up on a stage in a room packed in with wall-to-wall people, I too will declare, “I am a headliner!”
I can see it. I can feel it.
What do you visualize for yourself? What will be your headline?
I’d love to know.
To your success,
PeggyLee
