Writing Tighter







"When was the last time you said something more than 15 words long worth reading? Never."
Steve Elliott

It's true. I will write tighter. I will teach tighter writing. We will start with Haikus.

Leaving Smarter Folks

Then, when we master this, we'll try Limericks. 

We traveled from far to Cronkite,
Brilliance among us shown bright,
We're leaving much smarter
Perfectionism martyrs,
Journalism class, the green light. 

We will be stronger writers because of this program. Thankful.

  1. I love that quote from Steve and immediately wrote it down when he said it.

    It is so true!

    Your pieces above demonstrate the power of a few words, too!
