I think vonnugut put it really well.
“Write to please just one person. If you open a window and try to make love to the world so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.”
A good story is a good story. Modern writing then edits shit back in to satisfy a need for inclusion. Its jerky, distracting and unnecessary.
Brevity is the soul of wit.
Theres nothing worse when Im enjoying an otherwise great story and I’m jerked out that immersive fantasy because of some irrelevant bullshit.
