| description abstract | Writing is a delicate issue. It is difficult to transfer new insights into the written word because thoughts move so rapidly. Stopping the thought process, however creates tension for writers because there are constant deadlines to meet. Writers have power over the words, a power that is not always taken seriously. The main goal of the writer should always be clarity because the reader is apt to arrive at an incorrect interpretation of the writer's tone. This paper provides key suggestions for clear, concise writing. Wordiness does not make one more profound. When writing is direct and free of complicated language, the writer's meaning has less of a chance of being misinterpreted. | |
