It seems that whatever I write, I try and exaggerate what is happening, making it seem or appear more grand in scale or epic in content. For example, I have an army of religious warriors who go to war. They are accompanied by orchestras and choirs singing battle hymns and blessing the warriors' weapons. Anointed champions who can bear the blessed marks of their gods favor them by letting them wear armor ten times as heavy as normal armor and wielding weapons with mass quadruple what it normally should. These weapons are blessed with holy fire and glow white with crackling energies radiating from them, and these champions are only able to wield these as their spirits are imbued with the powers of their gods. Now of course it sounds a little ridiculous but when I write I don't write with realism as my top priority. I like making things extravagant. I guess I am the type of person who would say,"You know what this knife needs? An RPG attachment." Would stuff like this bother you when reading a story? Do you exaggerate at all when you write? And just to be clear, not every character is running around doing backflips and decapitating people left and right. I just "flourish" where I feel I need/want.
