My writing kink - overexplaining myself.

Like a dog digging bone, I hunt stories Write orgies from words known With syntax like old men's drone And metaphors overblown

Vanya, congratulations on receiving Honorable Mention in my Straight One-Rhymed Englyn poetry contest! From this old man’s perspective there is certainly nothing wrong with the way you hunt stories! ;)

Thanks for the contest & the placement, Mark. It ended quite differently from how I initially planned it, although that's how most writing process works I guess. Also, no offense to old men. XD

Ha! Sometimes the use of metaphors can indeed be overblown. Hey, all for the story...

Haha, yeah. I used to think that metaphors and elaborate descriptions were the most writing. Because why describe someone doing something plainly, when you can compare their hair, eyes, skin, and every inch of their movement to 50 other things?
