Writing Advice + More NZ South Island (3/4)

Have you received an email and thought, "This is too short to read"? Or, "Gee, I wish this was longer"? 

IOW: You should take your draft and shorten it. And then shorten it again. Email, web page, report, etc.

Also:

• No one cares about you except as you benefit them.
• Use bullet points.
• Read it out loud.
• Run it through an AI to summarize.

I don't mean you must use AI to write. Rather, use AI as an objective reader to see how well you are communicating. Ask what the AI takes away from your piece. Ask for harsh feedback.

Absolutely ignoring the first bullet point above, let's continue our trip through New Zealand's South Island (as always, click to see bigger):

Above Queenstown

We probably got over 1,000 flower pictures on this trip.
I'll save a few of those for other posts.

Lake Wakatipu (from Queenstown Botanic Gardens)

Link to two bonus Queenstown pictures of the most intensely fun two minutes of the trip.

A brutally beautiful landscape (cold and windy, too) between Queenstown and Wānaka.

Just an amazing landscape, and we had it all to ourselves.

Along a river near Wānaka.

The Wānaka tree.

A teaser for next week.
