I feel like I already said this to you, perhaps on X, or Blue, but I can't find it now, so maybe I dreamt it. But here it is, again, or for the first time:
My best writing advice is me own:
Don't try to please readers or conform to trends.
Let your Demon feed you. Be brutal, honest, and vivid in your portrayal of his visions.
In describing character or environment, describe its atmosphere. What it looks like only matters if it adds or contributes to the atmosphere to a story.
“Tell your readers what colour things are” is excellent, and is advice which can be given to every writer, no matter their level of experience. 6 years old or 60-or more 🙂 *goes to desk to tell readers what colour the restaurant walls were*
Good tips, some of which have confirmed I am indeed not mad (I read my writing out loud all the time!)
