Writing Lite Tip 19: In genre fiction, 3 sentences of well-crafted description are enough

Writing Lite Tip 19: In genre fiction, 3 sentences of well-crafted description are enough.
If you’re writing mystery or thrillers, plot is usually as important, perhaps more so, than character development, setting, and narrative.

I find three carefully crafted sentences are more than enough to describe something new, whether it’s a person, a place, or a mood.

It’s the crafting that’s critical, though. More on that later.
