i need every author (and reader) to know that writing “a lot” does not mean you’re writing well. i could turn this into an inspirational talk about how a high word count isn’t necessary for good writing but at this point i’m so pissed that i just. i need yall to know. that describing every little bit of everything and going on and on and on and ON is so not necessary and it will only annoy readers. i also need all teachers to know this as well; just because these old books are so long and have such descriptive language IT DOESN’T MEAN THEYRE GOOD!! i understand these books have important themes you need to teach but oh my fucking god just let us read the hate u give or stamped or another book of the sort instead of black boy, because this book is so difficult to read and i (as well as my friends) am probably one of the only students to even read the book!! someone needs to introduce this man to the return key or the concept of an editor because bro will not stop YAPPING
