Write in the most active voice possible.
This typically means writing in subject, verb, object format.
For example:
It is possible that the mayor is going to veto the bill.
The mayor may veto the bill.
Active voice makes writing stronger and shorter.

I keep hearing this from all directions. LOL Maybe I should listen? Even Stephen King seems to think simpler is better, and apparently (oops) he hates adverbs too. Huh.
