Episode notes

This chapter delves into the struggle of engaging readers amidst a sea of simplistic content and clickbait culture. It contrasts the allure of brevity on platforms like Twitter with the need for deeper, more nuanced writing, while also reflecting on the effects of technology on personal style and creativity.

Your success as a writer boils down to your style. And today, you’re going to learn how to master the two different types of style — minimalism vs. maximalism — from the style-king himself: The Cultural Tutor.

Minimalism is clear, concise, and direct. It distills an idea. Maximalism captures the texture, the nuance, the beauty of life. It creates an environment for your reader to inhabit. Style is a spectrum. And the sweet spot of memorable writing comes from the tension of competing forces — concision and beauty; Simplicity and texture; minimalism and maximalism.

If you want to develop a distinct and unforgettable style, then this episode is for you.
