=== Cut needless words === The article references Covingtons How to Write more Clearly, Think More Clearly [...] Powerpoint presentation [1]. I highly recommend it! A fun part in that presentation is when Covington, in a series of steps, revises this sentence... “One of the best things you can do for yourself to improve your writing is to learn how to cut out words that are not necessary.” ..Into this one: “To improve your writing, cut out unnecessary words.” OPs article calls for more words to provide context. But by revising you can often cut the length in half. [1] https://www.covingtoninnovations.com/mc/WriteThinkLearn.pdf |
