Twelve tiny changes that will transform your writing within 24 hours

Writing is a lifelong craft.

But that doesn’t mean even the smallest of adjustments can’t make a considerable difference in how your words impact your ideal readers.

These are changes you can make today.

I’ve learned a lot over the years of writing hundreds of articles. When the long-term commitment to writing is there, you can’t help but develop an awareness of what is working and what falls flat.

I’ve seen how a slight shift in a title or a phrase can help you go from invisible and burned out to cool kid on the block.

Here are some ways:

Avoid jargon.

Replace any technical terms with simpler words so your reader can avoid bottlenecks in flow.

This depends to a degree on who you are writing for, but generally assume readers prefer the simple version.

Inject humanity.

People aren’t only looking for information; they’re looking for a rising sense of self-belief.

When we share little anecdotes or stories about our struggles and losses, we give the reader the green light. It shows them they can succeed despite discomfort.
