Tuesday Tidbit: “Unnecessary, superfluous, gratuitous content”

Here’s 15 seconds of inspiration,

your Tuesday Tidbit for this week:

Remember what Write Tight is?

"Keep it concise and

don't stuff your sentence with unnecessary,

superfluous, gratuitous content

that smothers your prose,

muddies your intentions,

confuses the reader,

clogs up the page with excess text,

pads out the work with inelegant drivels,

irritates the eye,

examines giraffes,

and renders your point unclear."

~ James Thomas
