I’m reading The Creature from Jekyll Island and, WTF right now, and both are delightful. Not just the content, but the writing. It’s playful. It’s fun, goes by fast, and makes me smile.
Playfulness is an underrated aspect of writing. If it’s not an enjoyable aesthetic experience to read, that’s a missed opportunity! I definitely enjoy writing more when I’m playful with words, but it can be hard to break out of the formal/serious rut.
