10 lessons from Do I Make Myself Clear? by Harold Evans:

1. Clarity is key. Clear writing is essential for effective communication. When you write clearly, your readers are more likely to understand your message and take action.
2. Be concise. Get to the point quickly and avoid using unnecessary words and phrases.
3. Use simple language. Avoid using jargon and technical terms that your readers may not understand.
4. Be specific. Avoid using vague language and generalizations. Instead, use specific examples and details to illustrate your points.
5. Be organized. Structure your writing in a way that is easy to follow. Use headings, subheadings, and bullet points to break up your text and make it more readable.
6. Proofread your work carefully. Before you send your writing to anyone, be sure to proofread it carefully for errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
7. Get feedback from others. Ask a friend, colleague, or family member to read your writing and give you feedback. This can help you to identify any areas where your writing could be improved.
8. Be yourself. Don’t try to sound like someone you’re not. Write in your own voice and style.
9. Have fun! Writing should be enjoyable. If you’re not having fun, your readers will be able to tell.
10. Practice makes perfect. The more you write, the better you will become at it. So don’t be afraid to write and to experiment with different styles and techniques.
