I just saw a writing advice post abt the “show don’t tell” thing and it was good at first but then it deadass turned “the sun rose over the city” into “Yellow light spilled over the streets, soaking the grit from the rainbow puddles into the air.” but even longer and I’m just gonna say it right off the bat, sometimes you don’t need more words. Sometimes you can just say “[x] felt [y]” straight up and spare your reader from having to skip over your sudden need to jack off to your own vocabulary
