Have you ever thought that great writers need to use long, fancy words in order to tell a story? If so, you'd be wrong. The truth is, too many words, and words that are not familiar to the average person, just get in the way. Short words are powerful because they are easy to read, easy to grasp, and easy to recall. In this book, the fourth in the series, these authors prove just how effective it can be to keep it Short and Sweet -- whether it's fiction, non-fiction, or poetry.
