       one bit of work advice I've always appreciated, re: writing, is "would you feel like a dick if you said this out loud to someone?"IME it's a great ... heuristic? (do I say that in person?) ... for checking if you're saying things plainly and clearly.

       I loved working for her an ex-editor, who would shred my writing. I had her up about putting "I don't understand this." because I thought it was unconstructive, and she said in as gentle a way as possible "I only write that when it's true. If I don't know what you're trying to say, I can't be more constructive about how to say it."
