Part of Daily Focus: 365 Practical Notes for Solo and Small Business Owners.

Writers often warm up on the page after the reader has already arrived.

The warm-up sentence often explains that you are about to share a lesson, story or announcement. Remove it and see whether the next line already begins naturally; direct writing can feel more conversational because it trusts the reader to enter without ceremony.

Try this today: Remove the sentence that only announces what the email will discuss.

Keep in mind: Begin with the discussion itself.
