Hi Craig, Thanks for these specific examples. I'm actually looking forward to printing out my first draft and finding ways to make it sharper, clearer, more succinct. The big challenge, as you allude to, is writers know what's in their head but it needs to be on the page. Gotta try to read through the eyes of a new reader, outside your own head. Easier said than done!

It's probably the hardest thing. I call it "being kind to the reader", but it's more than that. An completely objective eye on our own work is nearly impossible - one of the reason why we need good editors.

Thanks for reading Ken!
