Simplicity

I agree completely with everything the writer has to say. Many different times I find myself reading and rereading a sentence just because it is worded weird and I do not understand why it was said that way. I do not understand why people feel that sophisticated words are what make good writing good writing. I would chose a book that gives good detail in a way that I can understand the first time instead of reading a book that was more caught up in the words than it was in what it was trying to say. Writing is hard I feel mainly because it is frustrating. No one likes to fail once let alone hundreds of times just because they can’t seem to find that magical sentence that brings it all together. There is a lack of people reading now a day because for many people it is too much work trying to decipher what the author meant to say in his or her sentences. With all of the rules that the English language has you would think that people would want to simplify it as much as possible to create less work but it is just the opposite. Many writers feel that if they aren’t using big words than its like writing a children’s book. So they make it more difficult to read than it has to be in hopes for an older group of people to read it. But at any age who wants to read something that makes them feel inferior to the author? Who wants to work at reading a book when in many cases all they want to do is to relax? So in many respects I applaud this author and this writing because it brings a very important point up that I believe everyone can relate to.
