A certain something happened recently that reminded me of a theory I've had bobbing around my mind lately. I'm not really ready to share it quite yet, but it involves word choice.
There's only so much space on a page and there's only so many pages in a book, right? Well, I suppose in this age of massive digital storage it's more appropriate to say that there's only so much interest one writer can devote to a book and similarly only a certain amount of interest that a reader is willing to commit to it. You don't have an infinite number of words you can put into a story so that means that the words you do put in are more valuable than the ones you don't, but how do you decide that value? What makes you go with A instead of B?
