If you want to improve your writing and throughout your writing career, you�ve been disturbed about the development of your content, let me tell you one effective tip, make your writing concise.
Concise writing is the key to the success of your writing and it is always the effective tip that every writer always applied.
Without knowing the importance of concise writing, you will end up having problems writing with wordiness. In fact, wordiness is mistakenly believed by some aspiring writers as a good way to improve your writing. but to tell you honestly, you should avoid wordiness as it will only ruin your content.
It is not a good idea that through wordiness, you can be relieved from the writing tasks that you are facing. but you are definitely wrong. Wordiness is a result of pressuring your mind to think of something to add in your writing while you currently don�t have any idea on what to include.
It is like writing what you don�t really mean and what you don�t really understand in your topic. As a result, wordiness dominates your content. There are unnecessary words and ideas which only make your content uninteresting.
Also, wordiness only makes your sentences or even the whole content long yet the most important concept of your topic is hard to be found. Many writers always commit such inevitable mistake in writing. Besides, wordiness is the most common problem for writers and a few knows how to solve this case.
Wordiness is a seductive trap. It�s true. How many times have you sat down to write and found the allure of throwing more words than is necessary irresistible? After all, an extra word here and an extra phrase there shouldn�t affect clarity all that much, all while giving us a heftier word count to run with.
Unfortunately, even a single unnecessary word every other sentence can add up. That extra clarity lost can multiply when taken as a while. Minor transgressions can lead to poor writing that�s more than the sum of its parts and that�s the biggest problem with wordiness.
Why do people construct wordy sentences? There are three main reasons:
1. To pad their word counts. Many writers get accustomed to throwing in a few extras just to make required page lengths. It�s definitely easier than going back and constructing an extra argument or digging up additional facts. Lazy editing is a major culprit to wordy constructions. Everybody knows it.
2. To be ambiguous. Some writers like to make their thoughts invisible, whatever their personal reasons might be. Being wordy is an easy way to achieve that.
3. It just happens. Some people just aren�t that good when creating early drafts. As such, their work is riddled with unnecessary ramblings and explanations.
Like all writing problems, wordiness is best handled during editing and revision. Sure, ridding your text of unnecessary elements is a chore that�s not at all easy to accomplish, even with the help of the best English writing assistant. But it must be done.
