Note 6 ✦ Prolix

Have heard of prolix? A style where a writer add unnecessary description into the draft or heck, purple prose? You know, I always heard people disliking it. But, strangely enough, I kinda like it. Sometimes, it helps the "immersion", y'know?

Okay, it may be bad for an actual draft cause it's too long or whatever. Still, I think it's better than a straightforward writing, plus, as someone who loves to daydream. It helped my imagination a bit.

Cause I'm one of those people who read while having a film-like representation of it in my head and those little "unnecessary" details helped me imagine the scene.

In the end though, it's a matter of taste and preferences.
