Focus, People, Focus

John Rains at his Writing Coach web site has been offering good advice on writing tight and finding the focus. And he's taken a quick comment from me and produced a thoughtful, highly practical piece, which includes this nugget:
If you can get to the core of the story in a six- word headline, you surely have a good handle on it. If you can’t, you are probably still struggling to figure out the angle. Whatever you have written isn’t ready to be sent out to the world.
