Bring with you to the next meeting an older piece of writing. Pull out something that's been sitting in the drawer unedited.
Look at it to make SURE it's as tight as it can be:
S -- are the words you chose Simple and Straightforward?
U -- if you use a big word is it Unique? There's no other way to say it?
R -- are you using a Rich vocabulary, or just showing off your vocabulary?
E -- are your sentences Economical? Have you used a phrase where a word would do?
Welcome
Our group of Christian writers meets once a month (on the third Monday of the month) to encourage each other and to learn more about the craft of writing. We have monthly challenges which we will be sharing here, on our blog.
I John 2:12-14
I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for His name’s sake.
I am writing to you, fathers and mothers, because you know Him who is from the beginning.
I am writing to you, young men and women, because you have overcome the evil one.
I write to you, children, because you know the Father.
I write to you, elders, because you know Him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young people, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
