"If the first reading reveals that the meaning of a piece of writing isn't clear, or if it has nothing to say, then it's a waste of time to spend energy reorganizing the piece or polishing the language. In fact, there is no way to choose the right word except by looking at content and meaning. If those elements are wanting, then the writer has to go back to reconsider the subject, reresearch it, refocus."
