Technique # 3: Rearrange words, phrases and sentences. Often, merely rearranging words within a sentence will shorten that sentence. The trick here is to find prepositions and eliminate them. Break down long sentences that contain two or more ideas. You'll get rid of more conjunctions, articles and prepositions that way.

Technique # 4: Are you being redundant? If you used something like "absolutely complete," "askrepparttar question," "for a span of one month," or "factual information," then you've managed to be redundant. It's either complete or not -- you don't have to addrepparttar 129784 "absolutely" to make your point. Do you ask a statement? Of course not! So it's fine if you use "ask." You say "for one month."

Technique # 5: Get rid of dangling modifiers and participles, awkward prepositional phrases, and unnecessary adjectives. Look over your work to see if you have cliches. You may have overdone your metaphors and analogies too. Find them and cut them out.
