The "Try-Hard" Trap - (Why Simple Writing is Actually Harder)

Have you ever spent an hour staring at a single sentence, trying to make it sound "important"? You swap out a common word for a bigger one. You add a few extra adjectives. You try to make the rhythm sound like a classic novel. By the time you’re done, the sentence looks impressive, but it feels stiff. It feels like it’s trying too hard. In writing, there is a strange rule: the more you try to show off, the harder it is for people to understand you. When we "over-write," we stop sharing ideas and start performing.
