I have produced a fair amount of professional and belletristic texts since I have left school. The most difficult part is not the production of text, but the deletion. It is also the most effective way to enhance the writing quality. A general rule of thumb: whenever you have finished a text, try to cut it down by 1/3.


Sculpting, if you will.

Remove all the marble that isn't part of the statue.


I've texted a lot since school. Try to shrink it 33%.
