Minimalist v. Maximalist

That pic bothers me Its another normines thinking minimalism = black white and grey.

>McCarthy a minimalist
i feel sad for you user

>In a shorter amount of time
Why? Sure, if you never do anything, then on average your work is kind of bad. But isn't an experience its whole time history? If so, this sounds to me limiting.

I feel like minimalism is a lot more 'safe'. The worst minimalist writing can be is a little underwhelming or dull. Whereas bad maximalist writing is tear-your-eyeballs-out bad.

>be a minimulist

What the hell? Either you or I have a very distorted idea of what minimalism is. And it's not me.

Minimalist in my opinion is having nothing superfluous. Everything that is there serves a purpose and there nothing more and nothing less on the page that needs to be. The prose can be a lot more vivid than in books where the author's just shovels it on to see what sticks and makes it overflow everywhere.

Same. It's not minimalist at all.

I like Hemmingway. Rupi is a fucking moron. Tao Lin is a hipster douche.
