Make raspberries out of your writing

Our ancestors walked through green forests, scanning the trees for yellow, red, and purple fruit. We evolved to notice things that stand out.

Today, we skim-read like our ancestors looked for fruit. Our eyes dance across the page, stopping at things that stand out, hoping to see key words there.
