  4. Making every word count holds true in all our writing. Sometimes it can be difficult to cut words that we really LIKE, but in the long run it will make our writing stronger. Thanks for the tip.
    Blessings!

  7. But how do you get to "No, but listen..." without the "did you see the TV show?" (That's just me being a little snarky. Good tip.)

  8. Brent, Well, you'd have to re-work it a bit. BTW, "snarky" is just an interesting word.
