A friend of mine sent me this article from the CBC about the "Elevator Pitch" -- pitching your idea in the time it takes from an elevator to go from the first floor to the second. There are some neat anecdotes about famous pitches, but he also thought some of it could be applied to writing, in terms of clarity, and I think that's true.
Many of us talk about how our stories spiral out of control. I wonder if distilling a story down to its elevator pitch, so to speak, might help keep focus. At any rate, it's a good read.
