Descriptive language adds a lot to the setting in your story. But it can also come with some problems:

• Too Much: Writers might throw in too many details, making the story feel messy.
• Confusion: If descriptions aren’t right, it can confuse readers about what the world looks like.
• Dullness: Using too many words can slow down the story and make readers lose interest.

What You Can Do:

• Stick to important sensory details to create a strong image.
• Keep your descriptions consistent by having a clear idea of the setting in your mind.
• Mix descriptions with action to keep your readers engaged.
