It's been 5 days. Here's what I've to say.

I feel so disappointed when I find myself writing things that are unimportant. 

Every word should have a meaning, every phrase a purpose. Its why I love literature and theatre. I believe nothing should ever have to be thrown away. Nothing should be observed or described for the mere purpose of being observed or described. 

Why is the statement important? Does it add to the overall beauty of the world? Or does it allow some new insight to nature and life? Perhaps it reminds a person of a wonderful memory or a horrific happenstance. Whatever the purpose for describing, it should be evident in the diction chosen. Don't use all the words--use the *right* words. 

To overly describe, in my opinion, is to torture a story.
