Less is More (My Unusual Writing Style)

I was challenged by one of our members (Wayne) in the comments thread from my post this morning to write about Less is More. I think he had the thought of writing about productive writing. So I thought I would take him up on the challenge.
One of the hardest things I have had to learn is brevity in writing. (Perhaps I should say I am learning. Because I have a difficult time being brief.) I try to anticipate what my readers will think and feel as they read what I am sharing and then I try to write content that will effectively convey the ideas I wish to share. I try to remember that I have readers with different language backgrounds and beliefs and the cliches and metaphors we use in English may not be clear in another culture or language. So I try to be thorough in explaining anything that I think will be unclear. Being brief in doing this I have discovered is not the simplest thing to do. But practice makes perfect so I will continue to practice.
There are two images that are rather abstract that I like to consider in my writing.

First is that of a dancer. Keep in mind I don't dance, the forms and techniques of dancing are not something I can speak to as an authority. But I try to make it a dance. In the comments threads; when you lead, I follow. When I make a move or suggest something I try to be clear about my intentions (my steps) so you will not trip over my clumsiness.
Second is that of a painter. But when writing we use words and figures of speech to paint a picture. We can include sounds and other senses in describing the scene. We can add warm 'colors' or cold. Our words are powerful things. So as I write I try to paint a picture that will be enjoyable to 'view'.
I know these are very abstract ideas but that is how I write. I'm sorry Wayne if this is no help to you. It certainly is not Less -- I have a hard time with Less. Often I paint a picture and the form and shape of it comes out looking entirely different than the way I saw it in my head. It is usually much More than I intended to write.

The best advice I think I can give on writing is just that you have fun doing it. And express your soul in what you write being cognizant of the need to connect with your reader. So we have to sometimes translate what is in our minds for our readers. That is it. That is the best advice I can come up with on writing.
If this really odd and abstract way of writing helps you I would certainly love to read about it below. Or if you have a completely different way of writing share that too. I would love to read about what you do.
Thanks friends and kind regards,
