The Tyranny of Words

Whenever I read anything by Joe Abercrombie, I always stand in awe of his descriptions. Everything is so vivid and rich and colorful. That's something I struggle with, even though I'm a very visual writer. Crombie makes it look so effortless.

...and that's why this post on his blog is so comforting. Allow me to quote him.

Often it’s the descriptive bits that I find take the most intensive effort.

 Whew. Man. I feel better, don't you?

(Oh, and there's also some excellent thoughts on word counts and their importance. Make sure you give it a read.)
