For those of you who can recall the 80s and 90s, do you remember those ridiculously large glasses frames we wore? From prescriptive to sunblocker, we sported glasses that not only framed our eyes but also our eyebrows and cheeks! Who in the name of all that was holy decreed that vision was also in our cheekbones? I was truly glad to move away from that trend.
Sometimes our writing can be large as well: Overly descriptive, overly plotted, overly peopled. Why not go the simple route and let the story unfold itself? I can almost guarantee that it will be succinct yet better worded, and you will see the 'skull beneath the skin'.
Just a brief thought...
Happy writing!
