Three Word MethodA notebook on writing less

About

Three Word Method is a small notebook about writing less: the note on the fridge, the line in a card, the grocery list, the label on a box in the garage. Our working rule is that most everyday writing gets better when it gets shorter, and we test that rule one scrap of paper at a time.

New pages appear when a reader sends in something worth keeping, usually a list, a card or a note left on a counter. We do not run ads, and nobody pays to be mentioned.

Corrections are made at the foot of the article, never silently.
