Water Colour Writing

It has taken me a couple of years to finally get it. Three years ago when I first started writing fiction I was informed that my work was overloaded with countless adjectives, weighed down heavily with adverbs and overwritten with poetic devices such as similes which were sprinkled throughout my descriptions like jewels upon the sand- and I was also told that my extremely long sentences which were structured on my love of extending the simple sentence into the complex were taxing on the reader, boring and difficult to follow. I have struggled with this information until recently when I tried my hand at water colours.
