Elmore Leonard’s 10 rules of writing, via The Trad
I like these rules. I hate detailed descriptions of places and things!!!
Seconded.
Please stop describing the characters’ nose hairs, authors. Because I’m going to ignore all of that detail and come to my own conclusions about what things look like, anyway.
I love you.
“Daisy’s nose hairs were like wire grill brushes, arcing gracefully out of each nostril until forcibly terminated by her beaveresque incisors. Gatsby couldn’t stop staring at them, even though everyone at the party thought it was rude of him.”
