Elaboration:

This goes out to Authors using unnecessary excess words, be it through poetry (especially),
short stories, and novels. I have emphasized on this common issue before with the quote,
"The goal in writing is to say so much in so little, not so little in so much," but this line sums it
even better with that 'enough said' quality I was going for, in fact, something I always go for.

With the above in mind this is the little trick on how many of the already-famous Authors
(notably our ancestors) penned some of the greatest, most remarkable words of all time.
This is because what they wrote have what’s called a ‘quotable' quality, a quality rarely
exceeding no more than two lines to get their point across, even in their longer works.
That’s the point here; if you’re going to write long or short works make each line memorable
by striving to achieve that ‘quotable’ quality to make viewers wish your work was their own.

In a TL;DR (too long; didn't read) society, this is what everyone should practice when writing.
If what you're trying to say fails to keep the viewer's attention then you have failed! Try again.



Enjoy.
