These are amazing tips. I gotta check out Smart Brevity.
Coming up on ten years of writing- I don't cringe at 2014 articles. My overuse of "But" had to be corrected. Start a new sentence. Articles are evergreen and writing is temporal. I captured a moment and it is nice to revisit occasionally.
I haven’t heard or used most of these tools— thanks for sharing
Grammarly Pro has made my content and email more succinct and streamlined. I grew up as an ad copywriter. It was beaten into my skull: fewer words, better impact. Thanks for sharing your hacks. You're a master of brevity.
Short and simple has the biggest impact!
Smart Brevity looks interesting! will check thanks for sharing. I write really long...hahhahah 😂
These are great tips... especially the idea to run writing through a GPT. Saying more with fewer words is a consistent struggle for me... but hopefully I'm getting better!
Great advice, Dan Cumberland 🚀! Shorter definitely equals stronger. It's all about getting to the point and making every word count. Keep it up!
Thank you for the recommendations. I don’t use anything! I shall investigate 🙂
