Simplicity
I wrote a simple scene today. Nothing huge, nothing tortuous – a simple scene using simple words that will, I hope, work on the emotions just as simply. The scene seemed to call for it and I don't think it's too trite.
Usually I craft each sentence as I can, varrrying word choice, structure. But this one I just let be. The one simple scene of mine that the infamous Mrs. Giggles ever approved of I rewrote about ten times. I hope this one matches it.
Or perhaps no one will really even notice the scene and the simplicity, merely feel the emotions I want and move on. And that will be the best.
May your writing be your best today.

Yes, simplicity is the best. The watercolour teacher told us to always remember K.I.S.S., and apply it to more than painting :
Keep
It
Simple
Stupid!
Very good advice we all though.
This is an excellent point. OTOH, I usually do think about word choice a lot -- especially if I'm doing different characters like Marian and Alexa and Calli...
