Get rid of excess words, phrases, clauses, and other ridiculous stuff. It&#8217;s a battle writers fight constantly. Generally we do it because if we don&#8217;t get the unsaleable crap out of the way, then we can&#8217;t put the saleable crap on the paper.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kinda like freeing up a log jam, so to speak.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, I&#8217;m sure you are probably wondering what qualifies as a writer&#8217;s soluble fiber for the brain&#8230; The Ex-Lax for the cerebral cortex so to speak&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have no clue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All I can say is that when it takes hold, all manner of nonsensical BS\u00a0 &#8211; AKA Brain Sh*t &#8211; will spew forth.
