The virtue of brevity is not to be overlooked. When I write professionally I try to trim at least a fourth, better a third, of the word count of the first draft. The improvement is usually enormous. New writers often assume that huge words and a flowery turn of phrase are defining characteristics of good writing. Their work suffers a great deal from this illusion.
