One writing concept I've always had trouble wrapping my head around is "how much is too little or too much description?"
I know it's bad writing to go over every minute detail of an object or location, but sometimes I struggle with whether or not I'm not giving enough detail. The problem tends to happen a lot is character description and the idea of how much should be necessary to describe the character without getting to the point where you're beating the reader over the head with a wall of words, or you're giving way too little description that leaves them lost.
How do you guys go about dealing with this?
