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
