How do I break out of that habit? I'm bad at describing things and I don't know how to paint a clear picture without going overboard and fucking up the flow of the writing with too many adjectives

sorta had the same problem when I spoke (mainly when I tried to explain something, recalling a memory, etc.) someone recommended Aristotle's Oreganon. Haven't gotten to it yet but you can see for yourself if you want.

The Greeks are important, but people are too busy jacking off to them to give actual advice sometimes
