Cheers!
I want to ask you for your opinion on a matter of - where the detail focus has to be? You're writing a novel, you know you keep your own ratio of tell/show, but what everything do you really describe? Do you mention to the detail everything you see in your head or do you leave out many details and mention only what you believe is important? As much as it is all about personal preference, there must be a core to a good writing that differs greatly from "no detail at all" and "info dump". Given the subjectivity of the topic, I want to ask you to share your experience with the feedback to your own tries. Do you show the reader everything in that scene as you see it or do you mention only the core? Are you somewhere in between? What would you recommend other less experienced writers to focus on when dealing with the details of a scene? Your input could help many, I ask you to share your experience/opinion for more than just me, because later you can just send the link to a new writer to make it easier for them to learn the ropes.
Best regards,
Jeremy.
