Same length, more said
A paragraph that is the right size and the wrong density.
Tighten this paragraph without making it much shorter. Same length, more said: stronger verbs, fewer abstract nouns, one idea per sentence. Show the before and after of the three sentences you changed most, and say what each change does. Paragraph:
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
