Like a  Colossus, and we pretty men

Walk under his huge legs and peep about

To find ourselves dishonourable graves.

   Were not attained by sudden flight,

But they, while their companions slept,

Mark Twain

"A successful book is not made of what is in it, but what is left out of it."

— Mark Twain

American Writer

1835 - 1910

Do you tell everything in your stories or do you leave somethings to the readers imagination?  The best writing does not tell everything.  The best writing allows the readers to read between the lines.  The same is true of art.  A painting shouldn't tell everything.  Some things should be left to the imagination.  What are you leaving out of your creative work?  Do you know what should and what should not be left out?
