Rules for Writers Chapter 16

This week i read chapter 16, it's title was wordy sentences. This caught my eye because, i feel like i can really learn from this chapter. I thikn i use to many words in one simgle sentence. The first thing they talked about tightening uo wordy sentences. The right way to tighten up a sentence is to, tighten it up without a loss of meaning. They said that there is know need to say same thing twice (redundancies.) Also to avoid repetition of words, because it seems awkward. Antoher good point tjhey talked aboutis cutting out inflated phrases for example; "in my opinion", "i think that", and so on. You can reduce inflated words to a concise word, make the sentences more compact. Its good to simplify the structure, like strengthingthe verb in the sentence. Talked about watching out for colorlessverbs at beginning of your sentences like; is, are, was, and were.
I just really think this chapter will help me and im glad i choose to read it and learn about it. i feel like my sentences are sometimes confusing and need to be tighened up, and now that i read this i have good tips to keep in mind!
