Clear idea #4 Plan, Write, Revise, Edit.

Simple ideas to help you write what you mean – clearly and persuasively.

4. Plan, write, revise, edit.

In that order. We’ve all struggled with the editor in our heads who won’t let us go on to sentence number two until we’ve polished sentence number one.

Fire that editor. Do it now.

There.

Now you can write to your heart’s content. Just get your ideas down. Turn off that annoying spell checker. (It doesn’t know the difference between form and from any way…oops I mean anyway.) You can fiddle with the sentences later. Choose different words. Rearrange things. Delete stuff. Oh, and follow the advice in Cool Idea #8 instead of using spell checker.
