One of my high school teachers told me this:
“Write an essay like a woman’s dress – long enough to cover everything, but short enough to keep things interesting…”
That has stuck with me for years. In everything I write, be it blog posts or emails, thank yous or letters, I try to adhere to that principle. Writing clearly and succinctly is a challenge, but the reader will thank you for it.

that is a terrific quote.
Another way is to do this: pay a nerdy but good writer to do your work.
Good
