Description & Pacing
We've spent the past few days on setting assignments, so it seems like an ideal time to bring up pacing. How much description is enough? When do you know it's too much? Does it depend on genre? On target audience? How do you adequately paint a picture in your reader's mind while still moving the action forward?

Cheers,
Michelle
