Let's Get Brainwashed.

I like to write in tables. It really helps simplify things and makes thing clearer for the reader.

One type of table I use often is "Who/Does What." It's 2 columns, and can be a simple list of who is doing what activities. If people see a paragraph block, they groan about reading it. A table is visually interesting, has less words, and can be scanned quickly by the reader.Here's an example:

Instead of something like this:
Billy will be responsible for making breakfast, feeding the dog and cat, and cleaning the house, while Mary will eat, work, and drink. And of course their dog Spot will sleep, chase the cat, eat, and sleep again.

Try something like this!



A silly example, but you get the point, right? I'll be writing about other kinds of tables soon.
