- Core idea
- Some sentences do not need improving; they need the extra second half removed.
- Real-world trigger
- Rereading a paragraph and finding that the first plain sentence already did the work.
- Specific detail to use
- The deleted part was trying to explain a feeling the sentence had already shown plainly.
- Post shape
- Writing-process note
- Ending direction
- End with restraint rather than a polished writing lesson.
