8.) Another piece of advice I recently learned in a copywriter’s email is to drop “that” whenever possible. For instance, rather than saying, “The Godfather is a great movie that you should watch” you should say, “The Godfather is a great movie you should watch.”

is there a difference without a "that"?

I'm intrigued, enlighten me pls

@@jendriskabriones2701 It sounds more casual/conversational. When we’re speaking to a friend or just someone familiar to us we will often drop “that” from a given sentence unless the sentence requires it to make sense. Otherwise “that” is implied. In my example about, “The Godfather is a great movie you should watch” I, like most people, can drop “that” from the thought and it still makes sense. You still know what I’m saying.

I usually don’t like when people add their two cents, it usually comes off as condescending but this is actually a great point.

Thank you so much, Sean, for your inspiring video :-) I am an EL teacher (Teacher of English for English learners) and have faced so much racial discrimination for the last four years I have been teaching in public school. I want to make this my niche and let the world know what minority teachers go through in America's public schools. I wanted to know if my writing would be considered protected speech; I would write the truth. PS I have enough material for a lengthy book, but I do not want to start with fiction.

Excellent tips, and I can vouch for them since I have done every single one ... well except I'm sporadic with my "daily" journaling these days. #8 is a stellar tip, and one that doesn't come up often enough. I think many folks think they have to get more formal to be a "better writer" when it's really more about knowing your audience and writing accordingly. These days the audience is often on the internet which definitely calls for less formal writing.

@@LocationRebel I started reading Everybody Writes this week, and just got through Chapter 8. I've heard the advice to write a bad draft, but the way Ann put it really connected. I'll need a lot of practice to ignore my editor-critic, but I'm going to try to write something bad today. Thanks for the suggestion Sean.

I write letters by hand still, no one replies but I write paper letters. My family doesn't care to read anything I write. They tell me I'm waisting my time and can't afford to pay someone to look over blog posts. Can't afford to pay a mentor, but I do watch your videos, read your emails and take free courses on marketing, but have to work on myself disapline.

Why hire a human or buy a book when AI can do it better? Youve got 1 year, 2 tops before people can fill out a book style, character voice etc they want to read and its created in seconds. I guess will writing become an exercise for personal growth and exercise, like doing Yoga or hiking? There will be no gain beyond the immediate person performing it. It will be as interesting to others as people sharing pictures of a trip.

Ai does not do it better, you have to proof read it, and make corrections. I use AI to brainstorm for my novel and it screws up names and doesn't stay consistent with the story line.
