One of the things he mentions in his book is to be judicious in editing your own texts, removing any words that do not add to the actual message that you're trying to get across. For instance, in the last sentence, I ought to have removed the word 'actual'.
I think some of this advice could probably apply to this article as well.
- raister 6y agoThis book is a gem for all writers, fiction, papers, etc. So many advice. I like the one: write from start to finish then let it rest for 6 weeks and edit out 10% of everything you wrote. Classic book. Read it twice already.
