Am I too detailed or not detailed enough?

Posted 2 Years Ago

I've been struggling with this issue for a while. You see, I have this deep dark fear that my writing is not mature enough, as I want to be a writer for audiences more in thier 20's and 30's rather than tweens and teens, but I am afraid that I am not putting in enough detail. When I do put in detail however, I feel like I am puttin in too much detail. Someone, please help me with this.

 

Here is a passage of a novel that I am writing at the moment. Please, take the time to read it: (please do not leave rude comments. If you do not like it please kindly and constructively explain what needs to be fixed, for that is the idea for why I am uploading this)
