Hey Alex, Is there a condensed version of your newsletter? I mean, I know you spend hours investing in finding the right story to support your point, and in clearly stating your message in more than one way so many readers (not just a few) will be able to understand it and learn from it, but you know, its a lot of words. And I'm just too busy to invest in reading a lot of words. So just the highlights right at the beginning so I didn't have to read to the end would be awesome.

sorry Marjorie but I don't understand the purpose of a list summary, when you can scroll through the main headers of the piece. Let me know if I'm missing something. This just sounds unnecessary to me.

Use constraints to encourage more creativity. I love this tip. I love having a word count limit and often write for a publication with a 150 word count limit. It really makes you take your topic and break it down to what's most important.

I wasn't intending to be pedantic. Perhaps I misunderstood the purpose of your post, and should not have shared that I would find it even more useful to have had the list summary. All the best in your writing.
