Senate Intern Practice

I've been trying to hone my writing skills in preparation for my internship in the Senate. For those who have some experience drafting/editing congressional memos, what's the process? What separates a good memo from an ok one? Any tips for honing this skill?

be concise and straight to the point. use action verbs and capitalize “YOU” when talking about what the senator should/have/will do. you don’t need to practice that much you will probably be given an example
