Henceforth, but NOT retroactively, any post in the exalted game(s) I'm running here with more word count or scroll height devoted to unfocused in-character dialogue and "fluff" description than to concrete details of mechanically-resolvable action, will not be counted for experience point purposes.

If there is no movement to be shown, you're either not taking a substantial enough action, or you're trying to represent it from the wrong perspective. If there's a significant vertical element, try showing a cut-away side view rather than just top-down. If the action is political or psychological rather than overtly physical, a map of the chain of command, relationship web, predicate logic flowchart, or something along those lines might be the more appropriate sort of diagram for unpacking what could otherwise be lost in subtext. Crafting can be represented as a chemical reaction, with inputs, catalysts, and outputs... or, if you're feeling particularly ambitious, a map sprinkled with symbols from Living Systems Theory.
Editing or otherwise reusing images from other players is not only permissible, but strongly encouraged, both to build on what has come before and to point out apparent e
