Another important skill is being able to read your own writing as if you are different readers. Think about how much someone knows and how something will sound to someone who doesn’t know as much. What’s their mental picture as they start reading, what is it after they are one paragraph in, etc. Make sure you aren’t making leaps they can’t follow. Try this out while modeling people of various levels of familiarity with the subject so your writing isn’t tedious to someone who already knows a bit. Make sure you aren’t wasting their time. Make sure you’ve defined your terms before using them. Read it over and over trying to get yourself into other people’s shoes every time. Have empathy for every reader you’re writing for.
