|
|
From research writings, blog posts, legal documents, and even your own notes.
|
|
The most important factor is to be readable and well-understood by an outsider or yourself after a set amount of time.
|
|
The following list is the things I need to keep in mind when writing.
|
|
</p><ul><li><p>Apologizing (e.g., "...as the theory of multiverses is not yet proven as of the time of this writing, more research is required on how we define superheroes").
|
|
</p></li><li><p>Philosophical non-sequiturs (e.g., "In order to create a deviled egg, first we need to ask is cooking.").
|
|
</p></li><li><p>Hedging (e.g., probably, somewhat, all I know is, I'm not an expert but).
|
|
</p></li><li><p>Metaconcepts (e.g., perspective, approaches, identities, entities).
|
|
</p></li><li><p>Clichés (e.g., walk in a park, knock peoples' socks off).
|
|
</p></li><li><p>Thingification of verbs and adjectives (e.g., "make an appearance" instead of "appear", "bringing doom" instead of "destroy").
|
|
</p></li><li><p>Scare quotes (e.g., "so-called", "in-the-know").
