“As far as I know, there is no such thing as effortless prose. If a sentence is adequate but not as crisp as it can be, it poses an intellectual tax on the reader. The cumulative effect of that tax, sentence after sentence, is considerable. I think what happens with good writing is that the author absorbs the pain so the reader does not.”
