Almost always, concise writing is better writing. Erin shares an easy hack to improve your writing: avoid the verb 'To Be' whenever you want to write more concisely. Use clear, descriptive, action verbs instead.

While 'To Be' is great for philosophy class, when we write, using active and visual verbs will get your point across to your reader faster and with more clarity.
This video shows you how to edit your writing to reduce fluff, make it more clear and concise, and easier for the reader to understand.
