Content Writing – Brevity Is Wit And Intelligence
What
does essentially prompt you reading something? It's catchy headline or the
contents? Most importantly, what keeps you glued to a written content? Verbose
or the brevity of it? Read why brevity is the soul of lexical wits.
To the best understanding of mine, numerous writers
are prone to digression followed by theirs resorting to verbose style of
writing. Most of them seem to have preoccupied with notion that much words are
necessity to have their say emphatically and impressively to audiences; even
though the end result may be different.
I am not against verbose writing (keeping the sense intact, of course). If I gather that
particular subject needs much elaboration to explain the latent concept
meaningfully, I will certainly do that. However, that doesn't mean to say that
I should absolutely resort to it or develop a kind of subjugation to verbose writing
to clutter my blog with words.
Brevity is the wit and intelligence of content
writing. This, which I believe to be an axiom in the context of writing, has
been permeated into my credo recently. Months ago, I was so enslaved myself to
the grandiloquence that I had virtually made it to be an axiom in terms of
understanding that it is the essence of content writing.
Days elapsed that subsequently rendered damage to
my creative-thinking aptitude towards manufacturing worth-reading lexical
stuffs as I failed to abandon the idea of festooning sentences with words superfluously.
That was such a suck, I know that.
Gradually, an understanding developed by reading
stuffs on different celebrated news websites and books where brevity of the
concepts being said/represented had infused me with overwhelming lesson.
Thereafter, I pondered much, analyzed my own style of writing and contemplated
what the heck I was blabbing out? Did I elaborate or exaggerate facts on my
own? Did my style of writing relate to any whimsical style found on web? Sure,
the understanding was of much help - cross my heart on that.
Content writing, if not written point-worthy, tends
to lose its gravity. Firstly, people really don't have time to scan though your
contents. Secondly, beating about the bush does more harm than good on to your
style of writing.
Do you think that you will read anything senseless with words
all over it? Will you quell “had it been short!” wish?
Brevity is the wit and intelligence of content
writing because you easily convey your ideas meaningfully to your potential
readers. You can, in fact, say a lot impressively with brevity. It also grounds your status as a good writer. Moreover, brief writing
has nominal grammatical mistakes as I've experienced this many times.
great thoughts :)
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks to drop by. good comment :))
ReplyDeleteGood point, but extremely poor demonstration of it. Not only is the article verbose itself, but the syntax and grammar are poor. This is not good communication. Conciseness, even if the author were able to otherwise achieve it, does not mean to do away with articles (I the grammatical sense, as in: "Ever at your wits' end wondering how you'd manage controlling THE irresistible urge of verbose writing?"
ReplyDeleteSubjects like grammar are lexically divisive, friend, and (usually) unpinned with extended argumentation (esoteric). If something doesn't accord to your discretion, doesn't authentic you are expert at it. The article was read appreciatively by some English friends who possess tremendous understanding in grammar. Sounds like your grammar merits further evaluation. BTW..thanks for your comment :)
ReplyDeleteYour post give me some good ideas, it's really amazing. Keep it up!
