Less really is more. It's a tendency of beginning writers to want to prove what they're talking about by going too far with description. I think you've got to keep it short, crisp and clean.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I continue to be drawn to clarity and simplicity. 'Less is more' remains my mantra.
I'm not the most detailed writer. I have a tendency to be more action-oriented vs. descriptive.
Less is more.
Less is only more where more is no good.
I think the further away you get from completing a book, the more responses you see to it from readers, the more your own tastes and opinions shift and the more you start to see things you could have written differently in the detail, or done differently on the broader scale of plot and character.
I don't have a great eye for detail. I leave blanks in all of my stories. I leave out all detail, which leaves the reader to fill in something better.
Overall, people are reading less.
Less is a bore.
Sometimes when you tell a story, you reach a little bit too far just to make the story a better one.
I hate to hear 'Less is more.' It's a crock of crap.
