Hello, this is my expansion and dissection of the 'Iceberg Theory' or 'theory of omission' of writing, commonly known as the 'Iceberg Method' or 'Iceberg Technique'. It was first developed by Ernest Hemingway in the 1920s. It's one of the foundations of creative writing -- fantasy, science fiction, or otherwise.
