Guide

Professional writing guidance

A short method for any important document you are struggling to start.

Write the purpose in one line

Before drafting, write what the reader should think or do after reading. Keep it in view.

Draft badly, then shape

A rough first version is easier to improve than a blank page. Structure comes in the second pass.

Let it rest

Leave a day before the final read. Distance makes weak sentences obvious.

Begin in writing

Tell Heather what you need.

You do not need the perfect terminology. Write what is happening and what you are working toward.
