318: How much description is too much?

Send us Fan MailAre you over-describing your scenes? How much description is too much in fiction?In this episode, we talk about one of the most common writing struggles: overwriting description. Many writers fear the reader won’t “see” the story unless every detail is spelled out. But too much description can slow your pacing, stall the plot, and tempt readers to skim.We’ll explore the difference between immersive detail and infodumping, practical ways to tighten your prose, and how to weave description naturally into action. If you want stronger pacing, sharper scenes, and more powerful storytelling, this episode will help you learn when to cut and when to let the reader’s imagination do the work.Support this ministry on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/christianindiewriters30 Days of Writing Sprint Prompts:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MGR7431Our Facebook Group!https://www.facebook.com/groups/listenersofciwpVisit our website:https://christianindiewriters.net/Learn more about the hosts…Jamie: https://writingshorts.net/+ Jenifer: https://jenifercarlltong.com/Tina: https://christinacattane.com/Sprint Prompt: Theme: Enough is Enough
