Public Speech Updates

After the outline has been perfected comes the time to write the speech, if write it you must. Then, whatever you do, write it at white heat, with not _too_ much thought of anything but the strong, appealing expression of your ideas.
The final stage is the paring down, the revision--the seeing again, as the word implies--when all the parts of the speech must be impartially scrutinized for clearness, precision, force, effectiveness, suitability,proportion, logical climax; and in all this you must _imagine yourself to be before your audience_, for a speech is not an essay and what will convince and arouse in the one will not prevail in the other.
