Avoid “Text based rules”
- Avoid rules like “don’t do passive writing”, or “avoid jargon”
- Avoid writing in a way that shapes the text
- For every rule, ask “which reader” and “which purpose”
- Ex: “use short sentences”
- For which reader?
- For what purpose?
- Ex: “use short sentences”
Expert based writing
- Writing and thinking are usually entwined, writing helps out the thinking process
- In the real world, the function of the text you write is to cause readers to change what they think about the world
- NOT HOW YOU THINK
- What makes text valuable is how the readers percieve how they changed how they think
