Good writing isn't about removing complexity, especially if it's a complex topic. It's about removing unnecessary jargon. ❌ "Light undergoes refraction as it traverses media with different indices of refraction." ✅ "Light bends when it moves from one material, like air, into another, like water."

Instead of naming the emotion, try to describe what's happening in the body or the scene. ❌ "He was anxious over the email." ✅ "His coffee went cold while trembling hands rewrote the email for the fourth time." Specific details carry emotional weight!

One editing question worth asking: "Could our biggest competitor yoink and publish this unchanged?" If the answer is yes, that's usually a sign to add specifics that reflect how you see the world.

currently reading Violets by Shin Kyung-Sook 💐it's giving me the same vibes as Morisaki Bookshop, but totally different (if that makes sense LOL). i like SKS's books, Please Look After Mom and I Went to See My Father were amazing

Contrary to popular belief, passive voice is a tool, not a flaw! The key question is whether it serves the reader or simply avoids naming who's doing the action.

Just finished the first of the Finlay Donovan series! I can't WAIT to get to book 2, but all of the books I had on hold in Libby decided to become available at once LOL

I am a certified #TEFL teacher, but unable to teach now. I LOVE everything about language learning, though, so I'm creating a series of learning materials for adults that other #ESL teachers might find useful for first-time or last-minute lessons. More to come in time 💛 www.etsy.com/shop/RoyalAz...

Text overlaying a spread of three worksheets reads "Real-Life English Roleplay Worksheets." A graphic in the top left notes it as 15 scenarios available. A graphic at the bottom says "printable, digital, PDF."

Text above a spread of four worksheets reads "30 Day ESL Warm-up Bundle" On the left, each kind of warm-up is listed: writing prompts, this or that, would you rather, daily discussions, bell ringers, brain breaks. Beneath them, a note says "Pre-filled and blank versions!" A graphic at the bottom says "printable, digital, PDF."

Text above a spread of four worksheets reads "200+ Real-Life English Conversation Cards." A graphic in the foreground notes it as 20 topics available. A graphic at the bottom says "printable, digital, PDF."

A paragraph that looks manageable gets read. A paragraph that looks exhausting gets postponed. 🗣️📢Shorter paragraphs are less about style and more about courtesy to both the person on a smaller screen and the person who lives with a processing disorder!

I started The Garden this week and it totally pulled me out of my reading slump (was hitting 3 months very soon lol). Eerie little stories, you have never failed me 😭🙏🏽

Not to say that *every* "in order to" is wrong. Be concise, but be smart! Nuance is just as important as that quick scan 🧐

Frame your call to action as an opportunity or next step, not a command. Your audience will be more likely to engage with confidence. #WritingTips #AcademicEditing #BusinessEditing
