Hemingway

Write one true sentence per day.

Write for clarity, write for purpose.

Context

• Storytelling — Hemingway's compression as a selling tool
• Communication — Clarity as the foundation of persuasion
• Content Standards — The iceberg theory applied to knowledge architecture

Questions

• Hemingway's "one true sentence" is a daily discipline, not a talent — what makes that practice fail when applied to complex technical writing?
• Clarity and simplicity are not the same thing — where does Hemingway's style become a liability when the subject demands nuance?
