How to Write Minimalist Prose

[Story_Marc]

Someone once asked me for tips on how to write concisely. I've known how, but given my sheer depth of knowledge, I haven't known how to tackle it all properly. In fact, I often feel this way. I recently came up with a possible solution, which you can see in the document I created and attached to this post.

Tell me what you think of this format, if it helps, if it makes it easier to learn how to write this type of prose, etc. I've got bigger plans for all this that can help many people, but I want to fine-tune everything with some tests.

The format is good and makes it easier to go back and reference specific points.

Reading it, I think I prefer to write (and read) somewhere in between the two examples for each bullet point...

Minimalist style is far from my favorite, though I know how to do it. And when to use it.

Personally, I'm fondest of a nice balanced approach at the middle, but that's neither here nor there.

Also, glad to hear it since that was one of the things I was considering for! Plus did it this way to try and make it easy on mobile users as well.
