Following is a short thread on a few things that I’ve learnt so far...
Use cliches rarely. If ever.
You know the ones;
- at the end of the day
- open-door policy
- all things being equal
When they were first used they were new ways of understanding the world.
So maybe okay for the olden days.
Now? Just a little boooooring!

Keep things brief and clear
Less is often more, especially on Twitter. 280 characters and all.

The majority of —> Most
Continues to be —> Remains
In spite of —> Despite
Less words, more punch.
Make things EASY for your readers.

3. Never write a paragraph that’s only one sentence long.
Anyone who is on Twitter already knows this. Don’t we?
We love a one sentence paragraph.

Hit the follow if you’d like to learn how to write better.
Not from me obviously. From the book.
Or you could just use Grammarly I suppose.
But where’s the fun in that?
