OH MY GOD. Everyone should read this article. I want to hug you. The overwriting. The same describe every tiny detail from the very beginning like the shape of her eyebrows and the color of the button on her purse and the size of her shoe's heel until you close the book and set it down.

Give me white space. Let the text breathe. Strip it away and allow my mind to interpret and create and play on the open field of what you've written. Give me wide creative latitude to mold what you've written into a movie that plays in my head.
