A life that is worth writing at all is worth writing minutely.
I grew up reading thrillers. Honestly, I was always drawn to the very detailed ones like Patricia Cornwell. I love details.
Writing in a nuanced way, getting at all the details in a way that remains interesting for the reader, is very difficult.
Use original detail in your writing. Life is so rich, if you can write down the real details of the way things were and are, you hardly need anything else.
Sarah Phelps is such an incredibly detailed writer. She's famous for bringing literature to life, like Dickens and Agatha Christie.
I'm really focused and obsessed with writing things that are specific. I don't like big rock lyrics - I find them infuriating.
The Wodehouse language is so rich and detailed and hilarious.
I absolutely love Dorothy Dunnett's 'House of Niccolo' series and the 'Lymond Chronicles.' They are so detailed.
