I know it's something I'm guilty of sometimes. I think, also, that writing a novel, redrafting, redrafting, redrafting is such a long and tiring process that it's inevitable you'll have moments of laziness where you don't properly unpack a scene. Determined to weed out those moment in this edit!! Thx!! | |

Although not directly an answer to the OP, I believe this can work wonders in so many scenes compared to having a narrator 'tell' everything. It shows relationships, perceptions, experience. | |
