Write Less, Say More Challenge Workflow
DRAFTING STAGE
* Talk out your post to a friend or yourself.
* Write your post.
MACRO EDITING STAGE
* Write that one thing you want the reader to remember if it’s all they take away.
* Using that, cut anything that’s unnecessary. Of every paragraph ask, Does my reader really need to know this?
* Revise generalizations to make them specific.
MICRO EDITING
* Cut cliches
* Check it’s, this, that for antecedents
* Create two sentences for every sentence with and that has two ideas
* Fight for every adverb and adjective
Enjoy the replay!
All my best,
Sarah
