Chapter two of this books speaks of clutter in our language. Usually, there is a certain amount of sentences or paragraphs that a teacher is asking us to write to receive credit. In order to have the required amount we often end up saying things that are not even needed. To be a good writer you need to reread and rewrite your sentences in order to keep the reader really engaged.
I learned that it's not always me who isn't reading the right books because I easily get distracted. It could also be the author of a novel using messy language. When you are ariting you have to keep in mind that this person has an entire world around them, but you need to bring them into your's to convey the message. You could start with so many number of sentences, but once looking over them several times that length should shorten.
