Answer 1

Scamper has a lot of uses in many areas.

For writing, with any well-done written project we will:

Substitute parts of the documents for something better.
Combines parts which belong together.
Adapt the project to better fit the situation.
Modify to make sections more clear
Paraphrase some examples to make points more understandable
Eliminate sections that add no value to the project
And last but not least
Rearrange to make the writing flow easily to the reader.


However, keep in mind that is just my thought on scamper and not anything formal or official.

Answer 2

I'm not sure this is what you are asking but I Eliminate frequently. The words "THAT" & "WHICH" are, prehaps, two of the most overused and little needed words we use in modern writing. When I find either in writing I am editing; I read the sentence with and without the offending word/s. If it makes sense without it, it is history.

Honestly, I have shortened theme papers and essays enough to have them fit the criteria (word counts) established by the recipients / requestors.

Additionally I am hard on long sentences. 12 to 15 words is about as long as I like. I know, there are times when longer sentences are required. I recognize that as well but I will always fight for brevity.

Does that help? I hope so. I know I do the other things as well but I don't really have any formulas beyond the two I gave you.
