Not All Subjects Fit Your Style

I am succinct. I like to make every sentence matter, every word matter. I am short and to the point. If I ever repeat myself, it is for emphasis, not for ambiance. As it turns out, not all subjects fit that writing style.

I wrote a story which involved a gory battle that ended in a tragic death. This is not something you gloss over. It is not something you casually describe. It is a scene which needs to be embellished.

Because it is not my style to embellish scenes, it is a bit unnatural to do so. However, that is no excuse to avoid it. My story lives beyond me. I owe it to my creation to make it the best that it can be. If that means going beyond my comfort zone, so be it.
