Use the reader’s imagination. Writing is an amazing artform because it requires readers to engage with the text. The reader is part of the process. We have gone through the first five and most important rules for writing. Now, we continue by talking about rules that apply to creative writing more specifically. For Rule #6, we talk about how each reader has a specific set of information they are coming to writing with, and we are not trying to convey something perfectly specific in our writing but are trying to get across a basic idea they are able to fill out themselves.
