What is clear?

What is clear? Here is my definition:
Clear is the attribute of being easy to understand
When I write, I try to be as clear as possible. When I write about an idea, the first draft usually has many problems. For example, some sentences might have unnecessary words while other sentences might have misleading or incorrect words. All of these flaws detract from having a clear meaning. Despite these flaws, I try to maintain hope that I can arrange the words more clearly.

Overall, I believe that clear writing depends on how well the author can translate a thought into words. This process can be difficult because some thoughts are mysterious and complicated. In this regard, clear writing is related to phenomenology.
