Use This One Editing Tip for Everything You Write

How to developmentally edit absolutely ANY piece of writing.

There’s an editing tip that applies to literally every kind of writing.

Bold statement, I know. But I stand by it.

Actually, “tip” is understating the matter. This “tip” is actually a mission-critical principle. It’s essential to every writing project.

Also, it’s my current favorite writing and editing tool. Lately, I’ve been using this every single time I sit down to write something new, and every time I open up a draft to edit.

What is this writing tip, you ask? Well, that's the topic of this episode.

In the episode, you’ll learn:

• 4 problems you’ll face when you don’t use this tip
• 3 ways this tip will make your writing better (and easier!)
• Why this tip might be so darn hard to actually apply (hint: it’s fear)
• How I used this exact tip to write this podcast episode
• And more! (Like, you know, what the tip is!)

This episode is extra-special—and not just because I love this editing tip.
