A realisation hit me this morning. Good writing is about character and story. I mean how many times have I read this, told others this even! But today I have kind of made myself three simple rules to follow;
1. Unless I am describing the thoughts, feelings or behaviours of my main characters DO NOT take space up with description.
2. Physical descriptions of place and things ONLY when they are important to the plot.
3. Overall - let the story flow.
Might write this as a mantra to myself.
