Communication Monday Kill Your Darlings A statement first stated by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch in 1914 and popularized by many writers including Stephen King is to "kill your darlings", meaning to get rid of any parts of your writing or speech that don't serve your story, no matter how creative or well written they may be. That is not to say that they your deleted revisions might not be valuable for another story or speech, but it is important to put ego aside and do what is best for your current speech and audience. #storytelling #writing #publicspeaking

Most of us write too much! Not because we love something, but because we forget someone! Writing too much does not mean we love writing words, but rather that we forget our readers. When we don’t think about our audience’s intention, we end up adding information they don’t need. Plain language fixes that. It reminds us that what readers need to do comes before what they need to know. That simple shift changes everything: 1️⃣ The message becomes clearer. 2️⃣ The steps become easier to follow. 3️⃣ And people actually finish reading. #PlainLanguage #Writing #InstructionalDesign #Teaching #Communication
