Estimates of the average American's vocabulary range from several thousand to several hundred thousand words. Any way you look at the numbers, that's a lot of words. With all that firepower available, shouldn't it be easy for people to write what they mean and mean what they write?
From corporate cubicles to executive suites, writers struggle to express their ideas. Some writers grapple with the rules they learned as students and find hours elapse in deciding between "which" and "that." Other writers know so much about their subjects that every document grows to gigantic proportions, requiring readers to slog through endless paragraphs in search of one nugget of information that will make the exertion worthwhile.
As a writing coach, I help writers identify their strengths and pinpoint their weaknesses. We work together to enhance the strengths and develop a plan to overcome the weaknesses. And, like all good coaches, sometimes I kick butt and sometimes I gently encourage.
