Episode description
Most writers know what purple prose is. Most try to make their writing contain as little writing as possible. I call this skinny writing. In this week's episode, I talk about the utility of purple prose and skinny writing, when we should use both, and why I think that our writing culture has shifted toward writing "skinny" rather than writing "purple."
