Writing advice that won't work anymore, but I still like the sentiment!

Mark Twain's head:
"Substitute damn every time you're inclined to write very; your editor will delete it an the writing will be just as it should be." ~Mark Twain
Under certain circumstances it might work by substituting f-bombs these days but you run the risk of having it be considered art.

Eliminating words and seeing how the result reads is good advice for avoiding turgid and tiresome prose.
