Develop Communication Skills

Skills cross boundaries. Strive for clear thinking and communication. 

Study the techniques of skilled writers. Anne Lamott emphasizes first drafts. Get something down. Steven King preaches strong verbs and avoiding adverbs. Not much worse than very, truly, really which add little.

Bigger words aren't better. Longer sentences may create confusion. Exotic vocabulary doesn't help. 

Know your audience. Write to capture their interest. Find authors you admire and for practice, imitate their style. 

Better communication at home and school flows into your MVB play. Silent teams lose. Talk energizes. Talk focuses. Talk intimidates. Communication wins throughout your whole life. 

Lagniappe. Block better. Set high goals.
