friend: I get a little discouraged when I see all these popular writers on tumblr
friend: 'cause a lot of people like to use elaborate words
friend: and I stick with my to the point writing >>;
me: psh
me: no, don't be discouraged
me: it doesn't matter if you use big words or elaborate plot points or anything
me: a well written story only needs words to tell it
me: and if those words are simple, so be it
me: using language that is too stilted for the story can kill even the best

this is a truth
