Skinny Writing

from How to Write Good · host Daniel Poppie

Most writers know what purple prose is. Most try to make their writing contain as little writing as possible. I call this skinny writing. In this week's episode, I talk about the utility of purple prose and skinny writing, when we should use both, and why I think that our writing culture has shifted toward writing "skinny" rather than writing "purple."My Website:www.danielpoppie.com HTWG Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/howtowritegoodHTWG Twitter: https://twitter.com/HTWGPodcastHTWG Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/howtowritegoodOne Last Toast for Ebenezer Fleet:https://www.spreaker.com/show/one-last-toast-for-ebenezer-fleetIntro and Exit Music Credit: Brain-Eating Zombies from Area 51 by Moolenhttp://ccmixter.org/files/moolen/32827
