METHOD

> Three operating principles. Each one cuts a different kind of slop.

// 01  DEMAND FIRST
Person before phrase.
A reader, in a moment,
with a specific need.
// 02  SPECIFICITY
One name, one place,
one verb that survives
the deletion of every other.
// 03  RESTRAINT
Cut what does no work.
Keep what bleeds when cut.
Begin again.
