The principle that less is more.
Less padding... Fewer adverbs - some authors get by without any at all... Detail, but no description, if that makes sense... Short, impactful dialogue that gets straight to the point...
Minimalistic writing is a style that retains only what's necessary and it's a style where the author has to be very selective. If you want to write a piece like that, but never have before, you won't get there by excising three quarters of what you put down on paper. You can't walk around wearing one quarter of a shirt and you can't eat a piece of meat that's only 25% cooked, but if you can make a satisfying and tasty meal with only one quarter of the ingredients, you'd be a talented chef.
Minimalistic writing has got to concern itself with realism because you don't have the freedom to build worlds - you've got to be able to strip the one we live in down to the wall studs so that it can be laid bare for the reader.
