TMI.

The SOG writer/s need to read “The Elements of Style”.

A very good writer (non-fiction) advised me once when writing articles:

1. Tell them what you’re going to say.
2. Say it.
3. Tell them what you said.

I write articles here and there, and editing is as important as writing. Editing for excess words, unnecessary verbiage, is it clear? Can someone not familiar with this topic easily understand it? etc
