@axiochrono I also say this because, in my experience, most beginner speculative fiction writers tend to err on the side of vague descriptions and it’s better to be too precise and dial it back a smidge than start out too vague, that’s a much harder lift in revisions

@axiochrono it’s better to be precise *while* keeping to the voice of your manuscript, if a certain character is known to be broad-shouldered, “the corridor was the width of three Jonases side by side” instead of “the corridor was wide” or “the corridor was 6.7 feet wide”

This is unironically the single greatest piece of writing advice I've ever seen.

@axiochrono it's always best to leave your writing just vague enough. otherwise you're just shackling yoursellf down and painting yourself into a corner. my favorite example of this rule is never use actual numbers when you could be saying "a few" or "many".

@CryptoOranda @CultureCrave those chapters were skipped for very plausible pacing reasons though. don’t get me wrong I always want more Tolkien content, but it’s gotta be the right content. Give me the rise of the Witch-king!

@ColtonMLong @CultureCrave Then you're aware there are chapters in there that haven't been shown as film, and plenty of content in the appendices that could be used.

@o604s don't call it hate, call it friendly mocking. (and accept the offer is my strong advice, it's a great school, just sometimes its students get a little too high on their own supply)
