Overwriting vs Underwriting

[MrRicardo]

I either say way too much or barely anything at all. There's no in-between. How do you find balance?

[ProperMadlad20]

Write too much first. Editing is where balance happens.

[HitmanMatt53]

I underwrite naturally, so I force myself to add detail. It feels unnatural but helps.

[TheRizz]

MEGA overwriter. Why write a line when 10 will do!

[StringTheory83]

Balance is overrated. Lean into your style. Some of the best poems are extreme in one direction.

[HitmanMatt53]

I love the way you put that. I like threads like this because people come at the same thing from different angles.

This is exactly the kind of conversation I come here for.

That is the take I have had for a while. Ask me again in six weeks.

Cheers for that. Good thread this.
