Hee, you should be a technical writer. That's about the first thing we learned, to keep everything to the important stuff and leave out the filler words. It clashes quite heavily with the story writer part of me that wants to fluff up sentences. ;)
And sometimes, I guess you have to have a lot of words, even if they're not all 100% needed, if your plot is long and you don't want to write it off in three pages. The problem is when your plot is short and you blow it up. And I think it happens a lot with sex scenes where the action just isn't all that much to describe. I can live with that if it happens two or three times in a story (hell, I enjoy that, a lot), but it just gets boring after a while.
