You break language rules on purpose, rather than by accident. Get a decent style guide, such as The Elements of Style by Strunk and White, or Oxford’s Esse...
Concision is a constant and watchful process. As you edit, ask: 1. Did I use ten words to say what I could using three? 2. Is there a good reason for this section to be wordier?

Say, for example, a snake is pedaling a bike through a forest (in a children’s story where animals defy the limits of their usual anatomy). Say we use a simile (a comparison using ‘like’ or ‘as’) to describe the snake: Next, we add another simile: The extended metaphor mixes i...
‘Write drunk, edit sober’ is a quote often misattributed to Ernest Hemingway. It implies that writing requires a degree of abandon, while editing requires precision and focus. Whoever first said it, it catches two important aspects of clarity in writing. Namely: 1. Clarity is not a first draft concern: First drafts are sloppy, patchy(‘drunk’, more ...
