When you need to create an event in your story, what you are really doing is building a scene for your characters to perform in. So, depending on story you need to decide how much detail you will include. There is balance between not enough details information to too many details. In making this decision you should consider how much information should be provided compared to how much you expect the reader to create with their imagination.
I would like to share the highlights of a scene that I feel will draw the reader into the scene. I only include features that are truly important to the scene. What will enrich the reader’s experience? Try to step out of yourself, see the scene from a didn’t viewpoint, read the scene you wrote, can you picture the scene based on your words.
This is a challenge for most writers. Once you feel confident that you have created a great scene and therefore a great story.
