"True Confessions"

John Trimble urges writers to consider diction. He emphasizes on three main points of diction: conciseness, vigorous verbs and freshness.  The point to which I need to consider the most would be conciseness. Whenever I write an essay, I like to fill it up with flowery words. I enjoy giving the audience a sentence which fill their mouth until if flows out. In my head, it makes sense and its formed in a poetic way. But, when somebody actually reads it outloud, it sounds like a mesh of words strung together. Sometimes the sentence sounds really great and its like wow- great point. But other times, it sounsd weak. Its too much and when it overflows it's just constantly gonna overflow and nothing will ever stay in. The reader will be so overwhelmed with the amount of words that they won't be able to register what point i'm actually trying to conver. Even right now, im trying to cut my words shorter so its not too much. I am striving to work on this aspect in my work. From now on, i'll consciouslsy write and take not to not to overwhel my audience.
