I always strive for economy of words. The fewer words used to express a thought, the more powerfully the thought is conveyed to the reader.
If you can wrap a complex thought into a few powerful phrases, that thought will have far greater impact than if it is buried and diluted in many paragraphs. People will also remember the concisely expressed idea more easily.
Free Republic has been the greatest writing seminar I could have ever hoped for. I am ten times better a writer than I was three years ago.
