writing

• a blank page

  A blank page signifies a new beginning or a situation devoid of existing content, rules, or history, offering complete freedom to create.

• a mere footnote

  Something of very minor importance or significance, barely worth mentioning in the grand scheme of things.

• Purple prose

  Purple prose refers to writing that is excessively ornate, flowery, or elaborate, often to the detriment of clarity or substance.

• Show, don't tell

  This maxim advises communicating information, emotions, or character traits through actions, sensory details, and dialogue rather than explicitly stating them.
