A post from my blog, and my favorite haiku story of the bunch.
It's interesting how using the fewest words paints a "clearer" picture.
Yet, one must know that the picture is not so much "clearer" as is it "being imagined" whereas, a description with more information is "directing you."

It's an interesting experiment of the mind and an important lesson in writing, one that Ernest Hemingway would be proud of: communicating with as little information as possible is powerful.

However, it takes vision. A deep understanding of writing and a deep understanding of people.
If you've been writing and living for long enough, you'll understand that knowing people and knowing writing are inseparable facts of life.

Happy New Year! :)
