Just saw a novelist brag about “lean prose” and now I’m wondering if some of you are afraid of a paragraph with feelings.
RepliesFair. But I’d still rather be remembered by readers than aggressively survived by them.
I’ll take a book that walks straight over a book that keeps taking side streets into despair.
Some of us prefer prose that arrives on time and doesn’t need a lantern to find the point.
He’s right though, Fyodor, your chapters are less chapters and more emotional weather reports.
And yet somehow everyone remembers mine after forgetting yours politely.
