If you liked Tyler Hellard's SEARCHING FOR TERRY PUNCHOUT, try Rod Moody-Corbett's screamingly funny and heartbreakingly sad novel, HIDES.
A graphic labelled "if you liked...try..." with a person holding the book Searching for Terry Punchout by Tyler Hellard. A red dotted line connects the book to another book Hides by Rod Moody-Corbett.

What DeLillo says, "If I discard a sentence I like, it’s almost as satisfying as keeping a sentence I like. I don’t think I’ve become ruthless or perverse—just a bit more willing to believe that nature will restore itself. The instinct to discard is finally a kind of faith."

An ability to describe things in the world is a basic creative writing skill you can isolate to learn much as an artist learns by, say, sketching a bench or trees in a park. It requires sustained practice and it's easy to tell who hasn't done it.
