Use 'because' once — a daily writing exercise

Give a reason once and a claim turns into thinking.

How it works

Use 'because' once

Readers mark it. You do not grade yourself.

When it reads flat

Find the sentence you are least sure about. What you actually meant is usually hiding there.

When the first line won't come

Skip it and start at the second. The opening writes itself once the rest exists.
