The word loss diet is the book I needed.  I am a writer, but I am not a great editor of my own work.  I have always found it hard to know exactly what to cut from my writing and what to leave.  I found that after I read through the Word-Loss Diet, it made a difference in how I look at my own writing.This is a short book, so Rayne Hall showed me how to do it best. By having a short book, I was able to "take away" some of the great ideas.  This is not meant for a beginner writer, because had I not been writing for a while, I wouldn't be able to understand some of the concepts.  Because I have been writing and reading for a while, this gave me a lot of points on which to build and improve my writing. They have many other books written about the writing craft, but this one I was able to put to use with my editing.I recommend this for writers who have written a few drafts, but are not getting to where they want to go.  This is straightforward and clear to me, and for that, Hall has done a good job.  I only wish it was bit longer.
