From a blog post:
"The reason I’m writing this post is because..."
I think that the reason you're wordy is because it's habit.
I think that the reason you should cut, cut, cut is because it will make your writing less wordy and more enjoyable to read.

Reason . . . because? Redundant.
Yep.
It should be "I'm writing this blog post because..." Much more concise.
