Oh I'm wordy as heck. It's a controversial thing amongst those who read my stuff irl. Some people absolutely LOVE how visceral I get I to things, but others complain that I spent a whole paragraph talking about the road of all things, poetically or not. Some people applaud my diction, while others complain about it sounding pretentious. So I really need to sort out some kind of middle ground.
And, with how deep I dig myself into scenes comes the issue of "quick scenes". Scenes where things happen quickly, like action scenes, get so bogged down in just how much I have to say about it. But if I'm too brief it stands out as entirely too simplistic compared to the stuff around it.
And conversation,;; ooh man. I can't speak normally on the best of days. People are always questioning my lexicon when I feel like I'm speaking normally, so I have no doubt conversation within my written works are probably wonky or stilted. I just haven't the slightest idea how I would go about fixing that.
