Quote of the Day: Neil Gaiman on descriptions

,

You can take for granted that people know more or less what a street, a shop, a beach, a sky, an oak tree look like. Tell them what makes this one different.

—Neil Gaiman

This is one of those where you have to think about it a little. Gaiman writes fiction, but what he says here has some applications in sportswriting, don’t you think?
