"Young Girl and Cat"
Émile Munier
1882

Your novel should move the reader along at a reasonable pace and aim for clarity of story. If your setting is somewhat generic then simply make it clear so the reader can move on. Use details that are important later but don't over emphasize them. Moderation.

Good Morning Saturday Writers....

Fall is here. The speed of each passing year may disturb you. It warns that you have no time to sit around vegging - time is short and novels are long. Off your bum and get writing. Keep your feet warm too.

Very happy with my new 22 x 28 book collage designed by Hunter Martin and printed locally. This poster hangs in my office and reminds me why I sit at my computer all day :-) #writinglife

However, I absolutely LOVE a well-timed wham line. (Thanks a lot, Stephen King.)

The funniest thing about being a writer is that the better you get, the more you realize how much you don't know. It's a beautiful, humbling trap. #AuthorsOfBluesky #WritingLife #IndieAuthor #Booksky
