There are various styles of writing and genres to describe the variegated approaches — of the literary; of technical writing; poetry; didacticism; stream-of-consciousness (think Joyce and Faulkner); of short and succinct sentences (Hemingway) in contrast to long and flowery lines where beauty of the form is more important than the content of meaning (many modern writers); and then, there is the master of the perfect sentence in each story and many of his novels (William Trevor).
Puff is a problem in modernity, and the meandering sentence is too often taken for lack of substance. In every writing form, keeping the intended audience in view is an important component in the choosing of style and substance. Should logical argumentation be used in a fictional work?
Must non-fiction necessarily invoke a dry and uninteresting style of narrative (read the biography written on Hemingway by Carlos Baker, or any of the recent historical works by Peter Cozzens and you will find that history need not be dry and boring).
For Federal employees and U.S. Postal workers who are intending upon filing for Federal Disability Retirement benefits under FERS, a “Statement of the Applicant’s Disability” (SF 3112A) must be well-prepared, thoughtfully formulated and exactingly edited. It need not be a Hemingway masterpiece or a meticulously-formed Trevor short story, but paring the puff should certainly be considered. How does one pare the puff?
By knowing the law and keeping in sharp focus each sentence’s declarative value in applying the law. Contact a Federal lawyer who specializes in Federal Disability Retirement Law, and begin paring the puff that will only detract and distract from the intended audience: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill
