- Vary sentence rhythm - Mix lengths and paragraph endings
- Write directly - Trust readers without excessive explanation
- Remove quotable moments - Rewrite anything that reads like a pull-quote
Quick Audit Before Finalizing
- Check for repetitive sentence lengths
- Look for monotonous paragraph endings
- Remove unnecessary em-dashes
- Cut over-explained metaphors
