"I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead."
Mark Twain
Most of us at least occasionally suffer from "too much-itus", including me as my good friend Paula Johnson often tells me. What about you? Be honest.

You're not the only one of my clients who "talks short" but "writes long." You are the only one I feel comfortable mocking openly, however!
ReplyDeleteWhen I coach people on writing, I always tell them to make the first draft at least 20% shorter without losing any of the meaning. There's usually some crying and screaming, but the edited draft is better.
Ok. (How's that?)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it Nisha and thank you.
