Less is more.
Shorter
is
always
better
because
your
audience
might
actually
read
your
work.
Your entire work.
One great sentence
is better than
one great sentence + another good sentence.
The same goes for paragraphs, chapters, characters, plotlines, themes, and your mom. But you often have to write it all out–everything in your brain–to find the best and burn the rest.
Less is more.
So maybe I found a loophole for writing a blog post in like 30 minutes, but if I said any more my point would be moot. This started out longer and I had to cut it down.
