I've always loved this Ernest Hemingway, quote from On Writing:

"My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way."

A reminder that great writing doesn’t have to be overcomplicated. Clarity, truth, and emotional impact often come from simplicity—not from forcing complexity.

Whether you're writing fiction, essays, or anything in between, focus on saying what matters in the best and simplest way.
