Never let the technical overshadow the art.
Then I thought about how I might explain that, and came up with this:
=========================
Art always trumps the technical; the grammar, the sentence structure, the etc, the ad infinitum.
What is that mild illumination coming in through the window? That’s the sunrise, and Juliet represents the sun.
But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Multiple online results talk about how Shakespeare had more freedom back then to use the English language in the manner in which he did.
Yeah, so? What’s holding people back today? Catering to the lowest demographic or something?
If someone were to ask me about writing in that form I would wholeheartedly encourage them to go ahead and write like Shakespeare.
First of all you can do art just fine, remember that.
Second, you don’t tell it ……. you show it.
Tell:
Is that the early morning sunlight beginning to come in through the window? Due to the rotation of the earth the sun rises in the east, and there is Juliet, her inner glow providing it’s own illumination, she’s just like the sun.
Show:
But soft! What light through yonder breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Early on I was very much inclined to write in the ‘Tell’ format. Showing is moh bettah and moh fun.
