It’s a difficult habit to stick to. This is true for both personal and business communication.

I've realized recently a lot of PR writers go through a three-stage evolution. Stage 1: They use 50 words to say something, but it's unclear as to what they're saying. Stage 2: The 50 words become 100, but they can explain the idea clearly. Stage 3: They can explain an idea in a tight concise 50 words. And during this evolution they fight with/through your seven types. Great stuff! Matthew - Thanks for this. I’ve realized recently a lot of PR writers go through a three-stage evolution.

He loves to hear him self talk and he writes the same way. I am printing out Matthew's list and will just leave it sitting on my desk hoping he will see it. Maybe he will take the hint, but I'm not holding my breath. I do not write for a living, but I type the words of someone who does and unfortunately he is a laywer.
