A writer's tool kit: redundancies
September 22nd 2009 23:56
Some follow-up thoughts reinforcing yesterday's post on the issue of overused words, which is a subset of the broader subject of redundancies.
The need to explain is human but is poor writing.
The best way to be boring is to leave nothing out.
It is poor writing to include every detail - it is good writing to know what to leave out.
The human imagination can provide far more detail than writing ever can, so leaving the message largely to the reader's imagination is the way to deliver the most powerful message.
