Well said. The difference between a writer using adjectives and another not using them is style. We all write differently. Be aware of any rules and then break them at your discretion- it’s called art. Writers should both show and tell. How much you do of each depends on you, your style and what you wish to express. As long as you’re aware of the reasons some writers prefer showing to telling, why some use sparse prose devoid of adverbs and adjectives, then it is entirely up to you and your art. The whole point of any art form, creative writing included, is that there are no rules. And if you start bowing down to them you will cease to be creative.
