How to make this sentence more concise
Hello, I'm trying to practice my new vocabulary by writing sentences, and I was wondering if this sentence is grammatically correct and could be shortened to sound less wordy. The vocabulary I'm using here is "succinct".
"My writing isn't succinct enough to convey my thoughts with just a few words"
For some reason I feel like the last part of the sentence sounds wordy and kind of awkward.
