Many people think that effective writing needs to be long. Although there are pieces where it needs to be written in a long passage such as novels and stories but it shouldn�t be that long enough where you can minimize into fewer pages. Writing articles, essays and other forms of writing don�t have to be written in longer contents.
Most preferable, shorter contents can make anyone understand the topic clearly and easily. You can even express your own ideas in a direct manner than do the opposite side which will only leave your readers into confusions. But those who are used to write longer pieces prefer to write it that way as they thought that it is better to write longer than make your piece a shorter one.
That couldn�t be further from the truth. In fact, some of the most amazing writing I�ve come across is short pieces that are simply unforgettable. Want the most poignant example? The Gettysburg Address is made up of all but 272 words, yet it�s the most quoted speech in the history of the United States.
Chiseled Writing
If you look at short pieces that make the most impact, you�ll notice that they�re chiseled to the hilt. Every word counts, every phrase matters. In a term we used to describe great albums when I was a young lad, �It�s all killer, no filler.�
Chiseled writing is all about weighing, parsing and refashioning every aspect of a work. It�s not the easiest thing to accomplish. Yet, putting in all that extra time and effort to rework pieces for better quality pays huge dividends.
How To Keep Your Writing Short And Memorable
1. Pick out your topic carefully. Make sure it�s something you can address within a short piece. If you can explain the story to a random stranger on a train ride to work, that�s usually ideal.
2. Take in-depth notes about the subject. That will ensure that you�ll eventually settle with the best information once you get down to writing.
3. Transitions can take the hit. You heard that right. When you�re writing short 300 or 400 word pieces, you can forsake transitions without much negative effect. They�ll tend to drag paragraphs longer, leaving less space for useful information.
4. Edit ruthlessly. Armed with your best writing software and an unquenchable gusto, edit that piece without mercy. If a sentence, clause or word doesn�t contribute anything of value, chuck it out.
While you are on the process of editing your first draft, you will eventually discover that as you keep on revising your piece to make it into an effective one, your content becomes shorter than the original one. Notice that once you are capable of revising your sentences or ideas in to something where your readers can understand it easily, the more capable you are in making your statements concise as the thought is always the same with the previous one.
It�s like you are filtering the words you use in your text, make it shorter but the concept of your ideas is always present. That way, your readers will automatically get the right information as they read you text by and by.
