Wordy
I want to give my stories more time. I want to become more wordy.
When I get into a flow, I like writing, it’s easy, it's fun, I write and write. But sometimes, there is no flow. Sometimes I have to push myself to write. Some passages I have to work through and dig. Sometimes it feels like work. It’s less fun. I often allow myself to skip the unpleasant parts as much as possible. So, the chapters often end up to be very short. After finishing the fun dialog and dropping the needed informations, I simply stop.
On the one hand, I think that’s ok. I like to write dry and frugal.
On the other hand: That’s not good. I see that more details, more description would be very helpful to build a scene more rich, to color it, give it more… space. I know that a story needs some time to unfold and get into shape. I cannot be so short with it all. I actually have a lot in my head when I write, a lot of background noise and colors and feelings about the characters, specifically, but I often forget to tell the reader about it. I just move on.
With my recent story I want to change that. I want to slow down and dig a little more.
