Learning to write in simplicity.

I have always known my writing style to be on the somewhat wordy side of things. I have also always recognized that I am generally over-analytical about just about everything.  Combine these two particular features and we get a person who has a very difficult time writing in basic description about just about anything.

I had an assignment to do just that in one of my classes this last week.  I found that even my research on the topic had to be overtly detailed despite the project's lack of need for it.  And when I needed to put my summary down of the research I could hardly make any succinct statements.  It was only time(or lack thereof due to rapidly approaching deadlines) which enabled a cursory rendition of my research to be made... and a lackluster effort it became.  I suppose I really need to practice this kind of thing more often.  It is a skill that could definitely benefit me in the future!
