50 Tips for Writing.

9. Don't over describe or under describe it

Don't over describe a situation/character or under describe it. Over describing confuses the reader (I know from personal experience with my readers) and sometimes, it's just completely bogus to relation of the actual story. Under describing (also known as Not Using Enough Descriptions) makes the story dull, boring and seem choppy. If you don't have vivid graphical details or use sensory descriptions, then the story will not sustain the reader's intrigue to want more. Keeping a story's atmosphere tense without overdoing the pressure to give someone a heart attack is probably something everyone experiments with. A lazy, relaxed, sappy attitude and your readers will run out the door, yawning.
