Writing

• Put your most important idea first!
  • This change alone will improve your writing the most
• Eliminate commas
• Use active voice
  • Do it by eliminating passive voice
• Read your writing out loud!
• Apply clarity index (just an alternative to Flesch below):
  • Pick a passage/sample of 150-250 words
  • Count number of words
  • Count number of sentences
  • Count number of words with 3 syllables or more
  • Divide #words/#sentences - ~15 is a good target
  • Divide #LongWords/#Words as percent - ~15% is a good target
  • Add both for clarity score - ~20-40 is good. Most people will be over 40 if they don't edit to lower it.
• Edit, edit, edit, edit, edit
