A small practice for the postcard margin

A practical exercise: Choose one concrete detail rather than a general superlative.

Original practice · Optional exercise · Ordinary travel notes

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

  1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: A postcard has room for only a few more words.
  2. Choose one concrete detail rather than a general superlative.
  3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
  4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
