Hey Guys!
Sorry for my absence. My schedule has been very strange because my kids have been home from school so much. We’ve had holidays, inservices, illnesses and parent teacher conferences. My son keeps telling me he only has two full weeks of school left. The rest of his weeks all have a day off. Noooooooo!
They are older now, but I still don’t like to ignore them completely
All of my writing time has been dedicated to getting another episode done and another episode published. I don’t recall if I told you my complete publishing schedule for the year, but I essentially have something coming out every month. In April I have two stories coming out, which was not in the original plan but added on by me after our yearly meeting. So far I’m staying up with the schedule, but it’s pretty intense. I’m already thinking the story due out in July is not going to happen. But if I stay on it for six months, I’ll be pretty proud.
Something I’ve noticed that is getting worse while I’m writing fast is my descriptions. I never want to stop the action to fill in the description of the surroundings. I know we’ve talked about this on the blog before, but it’s an area all writers have to deal with and be good at so I think it’s worth covering again. So today’s free form question is about description. I’ll post everyone’s answer in the main blog on Sunday or Monday. Feel free to get a long discussion going…I need help! 😀
How do you fit in description? How much description do you enjoy reading? I used to read Marilyn Stewert books and she had quite a bit of description in her romance suspense, but when I started reading her Merlin books, the description became too much. I don’t like pages and pages of scenery. What do you like and what do you do?
