I see. Well, you can definitely overdo it. Especially if/when the mental landscape is barren and you're trying to write something for the sake of getting it done or meeting a deadline or whatever. 
Like all of life, writing is a balancing act ☯️

There was a time when my sentences became so emaciated in their pursuit of concision that they were ugly, bony things and indistinguishable - as if a famine had been upon my mind. Not good.

When writing, look at what you are trying to describe more than at your words

Reminds me of the time when I wandered over to some subreddit about writing and saw a post about someone worrying about their word count - which was bad enough, but even worse was the fact that _none of the replies_ pointed out the fact that word count _does not matter_; __its not quantity, it's quality that matters.__

In fact, I'd say that less is more, if one can relay the same idea in a more concise manner. But hey, we live in the fiat age, where apparently it _is_ about quantity over quality.
