Very similar to Brian Garner's writings and his push to simplify legal writing. He recommends four stages of writing:

Madman - put ideas on paper with no regard for formalities

Architect - organize ideas into a a rough outline

Carpenter - "build" according to the architect's specifications, still with little regard for word choice or grammar

Judge - edit carefully for word choice, syntax, and grammar
