Making them up as I go (2)

1. Tell the truth.
2. Entice, or fail.
3. To emphasize, summarize.
4. If it ain't short, it don't work.
5. Be clear.


And so I don't forget:
Don't explain. Just tell a story.
Don't argue. Just say things that make sense.
Expect people to be bored by the writing, and shorten it.
Make the wording easy to take.

Remove Loose Ends -- the interesting one-liners that go nowhere.

Keyword: "since"

Old cop: "I haven't laughed since my wife died."

New partner: "Why did you laugh when your wife died?"


From A Touch of Cloth (copshow parody) Season 1 Episode 1.
On Britbox or Acorn TV maybe, on Amazon Prime.
