Are you a writer? Or trying to become one

I just stopped reading the book "On writing well" by William Zinsser and came here to put my thoughts on this book.
This book is amazing and interesting to read. I learned a lot of things about writing from this.
In the first few sections, he says that every sentence we write has clutter. A 13-word sentence can be reduced to 5 words without reducing its meaning.
Even the discussion I am writing now can be cut into few lines without any reduction in meaning.
So, what do you think about writing well?

Please don't say this. You're never going to do if you say "someday".
Don't Procrastinate and start your work now. Good luck

@Arunjack243 Thanks. I do have something that I'm working on. I'll have to find time to work on it

Nope. One of the rules of this book is to simplify. So to remove clutter.
