Just Say No With Copyblogger

blog.jpgCopyBlogger has a great post today called: Just Say No to These Three Enemies of Clear and Direct Writing. Although I find the title a bit unwieldy, perhaps violating his rules against both something called metadiscourse and pretentiousness, the points are well taken.

Another way to sum it up might be: Keep it simple! It’s amazing how often simple writing works well.

What’s your favorite writing rule?

Write well and often,

Two newsletters:

  1. My favorite writing rule is “Don’t use the word monetize, except when you’re trying to monetize your search engine results.”

    lol, isn’t monetize an awful word, if word it really is.
