h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Wise words here...

I'm less of a raconteur and more of a good conversationalist, in the sense that most of the time other people like to talk to me and I facilitate the speech with suitable interjections at appropriate moments. Therefore I have a tendency to minimise things so as not to take up other people's time too much. However, when there is someone interested in what I'm saying, then it is important for me to provide enough detail to make the events clear.

In writing, I like Peer Review, because other people are interested in what I have written, and if they have questions because I haven't provided enough information then I can rectify that I can also reread my own work after a day or so - for example when I did NaNoWriMo one year I sketched out the plot for my novel and wrote the story from start to finish but ended up with just 10,000 words instead of the 50,000 words that was needed. A single re-read to add contextual details more than doubled my wordcount

Wow. Sounds like you are a good re-writer!

I try - I certainly get a lot of practice!
