In the posts that follow, I'll give you some ideas for developing a clear, understandable writing style that is free of clutter. Some of the benefits of a clear writing style are these:
- The reader will move beyond your first paragraph to the second, then deeper into the piece, without becoming annoyed at you;
- You will develop an authoritative voice that will make it seem that you're an expert, even if you're not;
- You will become invaluable to those you work for.
