I think a couple of the points that Sellers makes about good writing styles are really interesting. At one point she tells that we should be specific about what we are writing about and give a lot of solid details. Then in another section she warns us about the danger of giving the reader too many details. She says that by being too specific the reader might lose interest because they can't use their own imaginations and then they lose the desire to figure things out for themselves in the story.
At first glance these arguments might seem to contradict each other, but I think they go hand in hand. I think that at least half of the difficulty in writing a story is figuring out how many details to give and when. I didn't really think about that until I wrote the first story for this class. There were a couple of times when I had to try to stop myself from rambling on (I didn't always succeed) and giving too many details. It was really easy to get carried away with things that might seem important to me but had no real importance to the story. Then there were just as many times when I had to decide whether or not I had given enough information to get my point across. That will have to be something that I will have to work on.
