I’m a ‘lean’ writer on my first drafts and I’m always having to go back and ground the reader and describe my setting. This is excellent advice on blending information into setting. Thanks!

I think you are right. 🙂 I just wanted to “hear” you write it. Watching what is going on with Terrell Mims in his group makes me think the right group could really provide outstanding feedback.

I think it’s because I’m not one for a lot of setting. I read a story once where the ballroom where some major action was to take place took three pages to get through. Every tiny thing was described in unbelievable detail. It might have taken more, my eyes glazed over and I had to stop reading the story. I never finished it.

I don’t want to be that writer, but I don’t want to be the one that never uses any setting either. It’s hard to find the right mix, but I’m learning.

Slowly.

Would it be bad form if I’m writing on my WIP during back-to-school night tonight?
