Adding more words to a message is easy.

It usually adds up to simply being more noise.

The ability to remove unnecessary, extraneous words, which add nothing to a narrative, is the main trick we need in our writing.

What we leave out, the stuff that’s superfluous to the story, is how we demonstrate clarity of offer.

The temptation is always lurking to throw in another verb, to over-season with an additional adjective.

Resist…resist.

For all storytelling, more is less and less is more.

Musicians play the notes, maestros play the pauses.
