Brevity is the soul of wit. The essence of writing lies in a good beginning n a good end and having these two both as close as possible.

I am definitely REALLY GOOD at using too many words & being overly verbose. Even now, jfc. I love economical writing though and should try to trim my own up. Great post!

Aha! I am quite good with lots of words making feeling expressive and Iโd say when you can offer in abundance while restricting. Also given, though, that few words can kindle the suspense further ๐

I’d say I do like a verbose prose given it holds substantial material for me as a reader.

True that, Janet. Classics, I find, a good example of wordy pieces of prose whereas contemporary literature has conveniently moved out of that fashion.

Well summed it, my friend. Increasingly, I find lackadaisical attempts at worded narrations, nothing but failing terribly at arousing a reader’s interest.

You may find Haruki Murakamiโs any work enchanting. It successfully grips readers far more than his words that actually mean nothing. Itโs beautiful on how it works. No sense, but irresistible & enchanting.
