I hate to hear 'Less is more.' It's a crock of crap.

Everyone is a bore to someone. That is unimportant. The thing to avoid is being a bore to oneself.

A bore is a vacuum cleaner of society, sucking up everything and giving nothing. Bores are always eager to be seen talking to you.

Less really is more. It's a tendency of beginning writers to want to prove what they're talking about by going too far with description. I think you've got to keep it short, crisp and clean.

I've always thought that less was a lot more.

I'm a real bore.
