A man decides to build a house. But for who; himself, his family, or will it be a community center? House construction is never a vague project. It will serve an exclusive purpose for someone or group. Of course, a design is instrumented, and plans are outlined according to the origin intent.

One thing that I have found helpful is knowing your audience. What terminologies will they understand, and what will resonate with them the most? Adding fluff can distract from your point. You want the reader to stay engaged and not get bored. A lot of the time I try to keep things at an easy reading level. That way it stays simple, easy to digest, and still gets the point across.

The language always have to be direct and simple. Cut unnecessary words. Get to the point according to your goals and purpose. Short sentences in active voice are highly recommended. Chose words that really represent data to each audience. Note that a word might represent something deeply meaningful to a certain group, and will sound empty to others. Example: you don't need to explain what an FPSO is to a group of oil and gas engineers, but you might as well avoid this term - or at least explain it - if you're aiming a broader audience.

The Editing stage always comes BEFORE the proofreading stage, which is the very last stage before publishing. -> You can either choose to edit & proofread the copy yourself, or outsource to a professional editor/proofreader. Advantages of outsourcing: 1. You save yourself lots of time. 2. There's a fresh and detail-oriented pair of eagle eyes that will ALWAYS notice inconsistencies and mistakes you are overlooking because you are too deep into your copy. 3. For translated copy, an editor familiar with the target market will know how to appropriately address your audience. 4. Error-free copy will make a professional impact, so e.g. leads will be more eager to buy, bad reviews are a thing of the past, and your boss will take you seriously.

- It's a fact that you can't see the wood for the trees after writing thousands of words on a certain topic. This is because you are so into concentrating on the ideas flowing off your mind, and everything else like structure, logic etc. is not that important anymore. - Gathering feedback from other professionals will help you looking at your copy from a different angle. - Good peers & Co. - not the ones trying to please yourself! - will always share their honest feedback on your copy. So you should be willing to also receive negative feedback - in the end, this will only contribute to your personal growth and a better copy.
