Delivering Clear Ideas through Good Writing

There is an affliction in the land. Say not a word lest you come down with it. The English language and the written word continue to be languishing in muddled and hackneyed phrases. The prevalent use of ready-made phrases and worn-out metaphors are evidence of complacency and minimal effort. The pre-cast templates for ideas are unimaginative and slothful and should be considered very poor English. Poor writing is indicative of carelessness and confusion at times. If the verbiage is vague, it is open to various interpretations and the correct meaning could be lost. Good writing creates an environment of care in communicating clear and concrete ideas.

I probably bastardize the English language as effortlessly as anyone, but I aspire to become brilliant! I have an idea of how to construct good written prose, but alas I fall prey to lethargy. I shall continue to compose script and hone my craft. I believe the written language is beautiful and compelling. It is a powerful medium which can create reality and provide a wealth of knowledge.
