  1. I like to do a little bit more than minimum, just so that describing “red T-shirt” isn’t obvious that it’s important, but going into an involved description into the intricacies of the stitch/weave pattern is typically beyond where I’ll write to. A little extra is fine, ie, lamp is green … I mean, do I need to remind the readers that a male character has a penis? Probably not, but I’ll still add in some mention of it
  2. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. As a writer, I tend to prefer leaning on the reader’s imagination, I mean, they should have an imagination, right? Esp as that imagination can fill in the detail much more than my words can. So, my typical description of a character… a sentence of two, because, well, when I’m a reader, I find that pages and pages of description to be a pet peeve of mine.
  3. Don’t chew your arm off! Having some tips are good, especially when they’re word patterns that can indicate a more serious issue, but sometimes those words are the right choice.
  4. He was wasted when he wanted to waist holster his right to bear arms?
  5. And anything can be overused. When I find such a word, I’ll try to avoid it for a while, it can help me weed it down to a better level. As to the comma, don’t forget to eat, shoot, and leave
