Generally speaking, I normally never really consider
the spreadability of my everyday compositions. Most of the time, my everyday
writing consists of taking notes in classes, writing in a planner, constructing
academic essays or assignments, and very infrequently posting on social media
website. Of the aforementioned instances of writing, the only style that truly
has any real possibility of spreading to a variety of eyes are the social media
posts. However, in my case, almost all of my social media accounts are private,
and, therefore, the eyes that see my posts are strictly monitored by my own
decision-making. If I do feel the need to post a Facebook status or share an
image on Instagram, then I technically do
hope it spreads to those I have selected to view my thoughts and ideas.
However, as these choices are relatively limited, I’m not sure whether that
would truly qualify as the spreadability of my work.
However, when considering the articles I edit for my
internship with an online publication and/or the pieces I create for blogs or
magazines, I do hope for a high level
of spreadability. Professional work in writing and editing can easily be
considered to have a higher potential of spreadability than social media posts—unless
you are a relatively famous media personality. In the cases of said
professional work, I typically hope for high spreadability in order to get my
published work to different eyes and across various platforms. More eyes on
examples of published work generally leads to a higher demand and popularity
for produced pieces.
All in all, I suppose I do consider spreadability
when writing, though not necessarily with my typical everyday compositions. My
social media posts are monitored, and my only other everyday examples include
academic work that is not meant to be public or spread to eyes other than
myself, the grader, and possibly to an employer as an essential writing sample
in the distant future. However, in regards to professional “everyday” writings,
spreadability can arguably be considered an essential component of a produced
work. Without spreadability, what’s the point of published work?
