  Either to take a very long time to get to the point, or to go off on a tangent.

  Writing concisely is a lost art, it seems.

    I did not have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead

    I write concise until i started giving fiction writing a try. Suddenly writing concise was a negative :x (not always obviously but a lot of times I found that I wrote too concise).

      IDK that kinda depends on the writer and their style. Concise is usually a safe bet for easy reading, but doesn’t leave room for a lot of fancy details. When I think verbose vs concise I think about Frank Herbert and Kurt Vonnegut for reference.

      Building up imaginary in fiction isn’t the opposite of being concise

        It’s not. I just wrote the comment because it was relevant to recent events for me.

        I started practicing writing non-fiction recently as a hobby. While writing non-fiction, I noticed that a lot of times I specifically did not want to write concisely. Sometimes I did want to write concisely, other times I did not. When I was reading my writing back, I realized how deliberate you had to be about how much or how little detail you gave. It felt like a lot of rules of English went out the window. 100% grammatical correctness was not necessary if it meant better flow or pacing. Unnecessary details and repetition became tools instead of taboo.

        It really highlighted the contrast between fiction and non-fiction writing. It was an eye opening experience.

  To “waffle” comes from the 1956 movie Archie and the Waffle house. It’s a reference how the main character Archie famously ate a giant stack of waffles and became a town hero.

    Hahaha let’s keep going with Archie and the Waffle House hallucinations

    To “grill” comes from the 1956 movie Archie and the Waffle House. It’s a reference to the chef cooking the waffles, which the main character Archie famously ate a giant stack of, and became the town hero.
