Brevitas Writing Style

When I began writing on medium, I wasn’t sure what to write or how many times should I write. Should I write daily or weekly. I Wonder if people will even read my articles. I debated if I have time for blogging since I am working on my second bachelor’s degree in Public Relations. I always been into writing and now I would like to make sustainable income from and help other excel as an online. During my sophomore year. I learned a very valuable writing technique called brevity. The concept of brevity is get your point across with minimum use of words and without creating any burden for your reader. Dr. Hirst highly recommended I should master this writing style, because he believes this would help me convey physical and mental energy. For those who know me in person, I use a device called a Tobii which has a camera. The camera tracks my eyes movements and I just look at what I want to select.

So how does Brevitas writing style help me?

Before I started using this writing style, I couldn’t really engage in a conversation with my friends. It would take me a minute to form what I want to say or then my friends would change the subject of the conversation. This was upsetting for me because I want to stay in the conversation with my friends. After I learned the Brevitas, I was able to stay in the conversation with my friends. Being precise with words is everything when you are communicating with your eyes!
