About your characters?
We all know how important descriptions and details are in a story. But how much is too much?
This a really good blog post that reminds us not to sweat the minute by minute mundane details of our life of our characters.
Take it away Budgie.

How much is too much information?
Should we add in more or less of everyday functions?

That was a great post! I completely agree, as long as the writer doesn’t swing too far in the other direction and under-describe. Staying in a character’s pov and describing the environment as the character interacts with it is great advice. 🙂

I always ask myself,”Is this information relevant to the plot or subplot? Sure, the statics of the characters should be in there but a lot of the other stuff I am contemplating about throwing in is frill that really is not needed. I try to think of my stories as movies, scene by scene. If what I want to add is not going to enhance the scene I see in my head, I think twice about shoving it in there.
