"Reverse Outlining: An Exercise for Taking Notes and
Revising Your Work"
George Orwell
"Politics and the English Language," 1946
From the Orwell essay, this one is my favorite: "If it
is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out." I find that
contemplating each word separately gives quite a keen view of my work. If any
single word does not further the story and also provide excitement to the
reader in its own right, it's history!
