Writing Tip for the 2,500-Word Goal: To meet your strict sentence length requirement ($10 \le words \le 15$), try to avoid short commands like “Glue it.” Instead, use descriptive phrases like, “Carefully apply a small amount of clear glue to the very edge of the paper.” This will help you maintain the flow while hitting your word count targets naturally!
