Mini Essays
For a while now I’ve been rattling my brain to describe my writing style because as a writer you are pressured to announce or declare a certain style. It can be hard to but yourself in a box or limit your ability but that’s not what I ended up finding. I found mini essays.
What is a Mini Essay:
100–300 words on a single topic or idea. If you go above this and in more detail you are elaborating which defeats the purpose.
How to Write a Mini Essay:
Use the Feynmen Technique: Learn → Teach → Revise
This will help you condense information into bite size pieces which todays information economy craves (hence TikTok).
Why Write a Mini Essay:
Take this into account, Albert Einstein once said “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.”
By concentrating on a single topic, writers will avoid the clutter of useless and filler information. This provides clarity for both the writer and the reader. Mini essays are a catalyst for intellectual exploration, it opens the rabbit hole.
