Behold the mantra of TVWriter™’s fearless (feckless?) leader, Larry Brody:
“Could be shorter. Could be cleverer. Could be tenser.”
Okay, so the rhythm there isn’t quite perfect, but the thought behind what LB says is true. Brevity sells. And if you want a crash course in how to achieve it, we’ve found just the book for you to see.
LB’S NOTE: People keep asking why Gwen the Beautiful and I moved all the way up to the Northwestern Tip of the United States after so many years in L.A. The following article is a fine example:

Dear Members,
Sometimes we are confronted with a crisis so acute and so devastating that it takes a few beats, as an institution, to decide exactly how to respond. By this, we don’t mean how do we react.
