lively, colorful, and distinctive.

If you are a busy
person who wants to improve your writing style, this course is for you.
Lessons will be delivered to your inbox on Wednesday mornings. Based on my
popular
monthly tips, each lesson will require
only 10 to 15 minutes of your time. A series of exercises will help you
assess and sharpen your skills. Review exercises will help you achieve
competence in applying one stylistic technique before proceeding to the
next. With practice, you will incorporate these helpful techniques into
your everyday writing habits.Here
are the lessons:
Lesson 1:
Turn nouns into verbs
Lesson 2:
Don’t trust modifiers
Lesson 3:
Use
parallel structure to write with distinction
Lesson 4:
Eliminate
wordy references to time
Lesson 5:
Add trailing elements
Lesson 6:
Pause for emphasis
Lesson 7:
Mind
your closings
Lesson 8:
End with the thought you intend to develop next
Lesson 9:
Appeal to the senses
Lesson 10:
Use ellipses to compress your sentence endings
All instruction and exercises are intended for you to work on independently. (In other words, your subscription does not include individual feedback or
review of your work.) So that you know if you are doing the exercises
correctly, however, answers to the exercises are provided.
