I’m frequently reminded of this concept as I write a book proposal. The toughest part of writing, for me, is not the lengthy book. It’s the succinct proposal where brevity is prized.

Yes, simple is often best. We can come up with the most clever, most profound theory or formula. But if, after sharing it, everyone’s looking at you like a startled deer, then maybe, we should re-think it. And get on with it.
