Yes. But the only people who think something like Moby-Dick is "flowery" or "overwritten" is because they have the vocabulary of a 15 year old.
No. Writing should be flowery. It makes my brain go oomph.
Is any of his work worth reading?
If 'shallow but long' is how you want your fantasy / super hero fiction to be, then yes.
IT DEPENDS...
Sounds like fanfiction level.
Just google an excerpt Black person.
But yes, it's fan fiction levels and I haven't even read it.
get over it korwil, jesus h. christ.
No
What's the point of reading something if it's not beautiful?
Why bother if it doesnt make you appreciate beauty?
If I can get through your book without encountering a single pretty line, I will not be reading the rest of your library
What makes a line beautiful? Which is the most beautiful line in literature?
God, give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other, living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time, accepting hardship as a pathway to peace, taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it, trusting that He will make all things right, if I surrender to His will, that I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen.
This is like the "why play a game if it's not fun". Your mind is unable to fathom a medium being enjoyed in more ways than the way you enjoy it.
Absolutely not. A little purple has its place in writing. That's my favorite thing about reading books of horror and brutal violence, having the occasional passage burst with purple prose and poetry just makes you appreciate it even more.
frick off korwil
No, but you should stop using "be <ADJECTIVE>" constructions. They remove the subject (in this case the author) from your sentence, and add an unnecessary word.
Authors should write with flowery language.
muh gibbous moon
>PhD
>can’t even spell “rolling” correctly
>insults a vastly superior writer all because he was racist, and not openly understanding that the environmental that people grow up in, shapes them
>yet says “These are different times.” not understanding the hypocrisy
What the frick happened to academia? Is this just another product of social media absolutely destroying society?
Social media has only existed for about 15 years officially, and it has caused more irreparable and portentous damage to the world than many major wars in history. How the frick?
>Black personMAN springs out of the shadows and tears the foul netherbeast's face off to expose a vast swirling void where a brain should be.
>they danced like translucent people on the wind
incredible Brandon, incredible
What is his end game?
MCU style movies. Most of his works are connected by the same universe so I don't see why not.
To crash fantasy, with no survivors
Science fantasy a brave new frontier
>blocks his path
No, just don't go full moronic.
Outside of punctuating moments it drawing attention to something important, flowery language is the result of most bad writing. New authors hear the advice "Show, don't tell" never actually looked at the quote that that is derived from.
>Should writing be devoid of flowery language?
Bad perfume stinks like gear oil.
It should elevate emotions when it matters, rather than to bring unnecessary detail that will be forgotten, it should allow the message to have a more impactful reaction out of the reader.
Just because authors are using it wrong doesn't permit the necessity of avoiding it.
I'm 10% in Rhythm of War (SLA #4) and it's fricking unbearable, why is kaladin depressed all the time? he actually had reason in book 1 and part of book 2, but not past that point. Also, can he fricking stop with Shallan be "le quirky girl with mental disorders and a hair color to match each one"?
He's a bad writer
