Great advice. Sparse writing can be a foil to indulgent writing where one constants the other to great effect. I find this helps with dialogue as well.

I love these essays. They show me the mechanisms behind my writing. They challenge me to improve. And they leave me dying to try new things.

Thank you for that encouragement. It's what I'm aiming for!

I'm glad it worked for you. I was wondering if it did what I wanted it to.
