#WritersCoffeeClub March 10th—How informal is your prose? Is there a limit to informality?
It's entirely contextual. Describing a formal dinner among posh aristocrats? Go formal. Describing a drunken argument in a pub? Go informal. Prose style is like mood music in a film—it should reflect the emotional background tone but not overpower the foreground (the prose itself). Think of it as metadata for the narrative.
