# Short Love Letter Editing: Make Every Word Count

When you only have a few sentences, every word needs to earn its place.

---

## Before and After

Before: "I just wanted to say that I think you are really amazing and wonderful and I am so lucky to have you in my life."

After: "You make everything better. That is all."

What changed: The short version says the same thing with more confidence. No filler. Just the truth.

## The 50% Rule

Read your short letter. Cut every word that is not essential. Aim to cut 50% of the words without losing the meaning. The result will be tighter and more powerful.

## Say One Thing

A short letter should say one thing clearly. Not five things vaguely. Pick the most important thing you want them to know. Say that. Stop.
