Verbose - using or expressed in more words than are needed.
I have noticed some of the best stories on this site occasionally suffer bouts of verbosity. I really immerse myself in a story and then the author gets off on excessive and unnecessary description.
Let me provide an example. I am intentionally using an example of a otherwise superior story. My favorite story is The Flight of the Code Monkey by Kid Wigger. Once this story is completed, it needs professional editing (mostly to fix this very problem) and should be submitted for commercial publishing. I think it may be the best story of the decade and the world deserves to read it.
However, I almost gave up reading this story in Chapter One. I found myself immersed and fascinated until I had to stop reading this story as I waded through thirteen paragraphs of description of the protagonist's quarters. There is enough detailed description to accurately produce a 3d reproduction of the suite (bedroom and bathroom).
I suppose that the author's ability for description is admirable. But the thirteen chapters blocks the continuity of the story. I found it painful. And, the details did not add anything to the story, in my opinion. One paragraph would have been as adequate. And practically speaking, how many people are going to be able to mentally keep all these details in their head.
I have created the Code Monkey rule that gives me permission to skip through unnecessary, lengthy descriptive text. I also now have an informal Code Monkey list of stories for which this rule applies.
The author also includes very interesting descriptions of primitive skills that I would categorize as campcraft, bushcraft and wilderness survival skills. However, it seems that the story sometimes shifts to a How-To book that again distracts from the story.
Again, I consider this story to be a masterpiece. If anyone has not read this story, they owe it to themselves to read it.
But this level of detail needs to stay in the author's personal background material of the story or even better, included as chapter end-notes.
Paige Hawthorne wrote a blog on April 10, 2017 regarding Elmore Leonard's writing tips. I think the following are relevant here.
8 Avoid detailed descriptions of characters.
9 Don't go into great detail describing places and things.
10 Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip.
Authors, remember this rule. Just because you can do something does not mean that you should. It is tempting to want to demonstrate your skill to create reality from mere text. But the goal is to create a good story and not to show-off excellent skills.
If Kid Wigger happens to read this, please understand my admiration of your skills. I can only hope to one day be the story-teller that you are.
