Thought for the Day Don’t use any....

[Paul Whybrow]

Don’t use any extra words. A sentence is a machine; it has a job to do. An extra word in a sentence is like a sock in a machine . . .The work’s unity is more important than anything else about it. Those digressions that were so much fun to write must go.

Another way of saying Pete's oft-said advice - "fewer words, more meaning."
