Drafting

"Drafting problems?"

enquires my colleague eying the half dozen scraps of paper littered round my chair. Yes, I have drafting problems. Why is it when you want to write something short in a short time, you can’t get the best words? I keep finding useless words like, “stuff”, “people” and “communication” come to mind, so I get phrases like “people do stuff” and “people do communication” not words with content. And it’s content I want. So another sheet hits the floor.
