I've been binge watching all your videos and I must admit that your expertise in writing is certainly reflected in the way you speak. It's just excellent.
When I first started, I never edited much, but I've started to see how essential it is now. This video confirmed I was doing the right thing. Thank you 🙂
Is it better to write more "complicated" or "simplier/direct " ? Articulating a complex writing is considered in many languages more sophisticated. What about in English? I think that in English a simplier writing is sometimes more engaging to the reader and also I find it harder to write a nice simpler sentence. But that's just based on my experience. Maby I am wrong.
You are right - in English, it is considered good style to write in a clear and direct way. However, this is culturally specific - many other cultures do not place the same importance on simplicity. Here's a blog post I wrote on this very topic: www.dorisandbertie.com/goodcopybadcopy/2016/10/07/culture-shapes-way-write/

I enjoy editing as much as writing, so much so that I'm now working parttime as an editor.
Thank you... your courses helped me make that step.
That's wonderful to know!
I have to edit on paper as well. Sometimes I just think better with a paper and pencil in my hand rather than the distraction of a computer screen.
I'm sure that approach makes you more effective!
Gorgeous lady....as always!
