Document room

Drafts

Shape the first complete version. A focused collection for better decisions at this stage of the document.

Working collection

Four ways to begin

Choose the concern closest to the work in front of you.

Define audience, purpose and outcome before the opening line.

Sequence claims so the reader never has to guess what comes next.

Choose language that matches the relationship and the stakes.

Mark decisions and revisions without cluttering the working file.

A useful principle

Write the structure before you polish the sentence.
