"Only write to progress the storyline"
Complete and utter blasphemy. I will be writing entire chapters on the lore of why a character has died hair or why they only talk a certain way, and it will have absolutely nothing to do with the overarching plot. Because who needs the dark and creepy murderous Fae cult when you could read about GAY!!! :] :] :]
my fellow writers, what is a piece of writing advice that never did it for you?
I go first: "don't edit, rewrite".
