Worksheet prompts
- Write it the way it sounds in your head, sharp edges and all.
- Now write it again, saying what you want instead of what they did wrong.
- Before you say it, check:
- What are you hoping happens after you say it?
Kind and honest are not opposites. A second draft usually gets you both.
