#WritersCoffeeClub Mar. 28: Do you ever sacrifice blunt clarity for prose that flows well?
Depends on what I’m writing about. Descriptive text tends to be a bit wordy (as is my dialogue, which I’m working on) while actions should be punchy and direct. I don’t think I’m talented enough to engage in long, flighty sections of text that blows the reader away but if my word count is low, I could probably ramble on a bit. 😁
