I’m reading the entire @ChicagoManual of Style this year, as one does when building a new writing and editing app (👋 @reproofapp).
And so, along the way, I’m going to Tweet one thing a day that I learned from the CMOS—things that apply to print and digital publishing alike.

The original Macintosh was supposed to auto-save. Start instantly. Search everywhere. Be uncustomizable.
And it was supposed to only run a word processor.
Here's the Mac as it could have been: reproof.app/blog/on-design…
Write what’s needed.
Pay little attention to the word count.
Don’t keep typing simply to have lengthier content.
Share everything you’d want to read in an article about that topic, then stop.
That’ll be enough.
