The core philosophy that I go back to for basically every part of writing is "know what you're doing, and do it on purpose."

This goes from everything from word choice and sentence structure (understand the meaning and connotation of words you're using, be intentional with your word choice, understand grammmar rules and how you may be bending or breaking them) to plot, worldbuilding, and story meaning (know what genre tropes you are invoking or subverting, think through how one part of your worldbuilding relates to another and shape it accordingly, consider the implicit or explicit messages your story may be sending and make sure those messages are the ones you want to be sending).

I've talked about this before with writing advice as a whole, but I'll say it again here: use writing advice that applies to your story, and be intentional with it. Don't follow advice about building reader connections with a character when you are intentionally trying to building distance; don't follow advice about creating epic secondary worlds when that isn't your goal with the story.

Know what you're doing, and do it on purpose.

thekimonogallery

Winter kimono. Early Showa period (1926-1940), Japan. A chirimen (crepe) silk kimono featuring stenciled white plant motifs on a black background. It would have been easier to have created black motifs on a white background. The designers, however, wanted white motifs on a black background, so it is assumed that the creators started with a white kimono, then applied a dye-resist paste through the stencils, and finally bathed the entire cloth in a black dye bath. One can see a light coat of the dye-resist starch on the white motifs. The Kimono Gallery

The name of the costume “Parange” (Translated from Arabic “Upper Clothing”, from Persian “Dress”) It was worn for weddings and very important celebrations. Depending on the color, length, embroidered patterns and ornaments, one could determine the status of a girl (married/unmarried, her age and financial status of the family). She fully embodies the culture, traditions, art and history of the Uzbek people. Unveiling the cape, you can see a chic robe with thousands of rooms and the silhouette of the bird “Humo” which symbolizes happiness and luck.
