To make anything you wrote concise, do the Three Easy Steps.
THE THREE EASY STEPS
1) Look at each word in your draft and ask yourself:
Do I need that word to make my message work?
If you don't need it, delete it!
2) If you see a long word you think you can replace with
a short synonym, find it in this Microsoft Word by
right-clicking the word, selecting Synonyms,
and choosing the best one.
3) If you see that you wrote the same idea more than
once, delete the other instances.
