The first draft is not the final version. Here is how to edit it.

## Check for Generic Praise

"Amazing" and "wonderful" apply to anyone. Replace each with a specific moment. "I notice how you leave my coffee cup out" lands harder than "you are wonderful."

## Remove Any Requests

A love letter is not the place to ask for something — more time, more affection, a change in behavior. If you find yourself asking, remove that sentence.

## The "Specificity Test"

Every line should pass this test: Could it apply to anyone else? If yes, add detail.
