Just Do It


“Call a fool a fool, it is what it is, mean what you say. “ In other words be direct and straight to the point. It is crucial to avoid phrases that go around what you are trying to say. You have to be concise with what you’re saying, use a really “get in, and get out” approach. Readers want to know exactly what you’re trying to tell them, they most certainly don’t like when the author skips around the point and bores them with irrelevant information that seems to be nauseously repetitive. Though we are all guilty of such an act we should try to avoid this by deleting all the extra words we put in to just say one small phrase. In my up and coming essay on Three cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson I plan on just telling the reader what I want to say instead of writing the same thing over and over just to take up words and pretty much “…Say Nothing in 500 Words." So take the advice and just write it!
