How long should a title for a 500 word story be? I keep pondering this. On the one hand a brusque title doesnât give a reader much to work with. I suppose thatâs part of the point of the âpreviewâ snippet, but do those always display? And on the other hand you donât want to ramble at someone before theyâve even clicked a link. Definitely something I will be chewing over/reading up on/experimenting with.
