I've always written very tightly, and there's a good reason for that. There's no point in using words that you're not going to apply.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My writing tends to become very dense, so I have to keep some cushion. Sometimes, words that seem superfluous are actually essential for the overall effect.
Writing requires an intense inner focus, and sometimes you need to express outward, physically or socially.
Words are a pretty blunt instrument. There's always going to be slippage between the words and the infinite complexities of a thought. As a writer, I find that frustrating, but as a social animal, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Vigorous writing is concise.
When you use words, you're able to keep your mind alive. Writing is my way of reaffirming my own existence.
To write something you have to feel it and know it, and that's not comfortable.
It's just as well that I write in the same facile way wherever I am - no blocks or anguish, no contemplation, no elaborate revision, no need for love-tokens or nice views.
I have always tried to write in a simple way, using down-to-earth and not abstract words.
When you use words loosely, without care and consideration, you erode trust in yourself and in what you're saying. When you squander words, you diminish your power.
When I write something, every word of it is meant. I can't say it enough.
