Thank you for the comment, and I'm glad my major point made it across! I've been practising showing without telling in my quest to write a decent short story. Scene description has always been my biggest struggle. When is it necessary? What is enough to build the set, but too much that it takes from your imagination? I have read books light on imagery and felt like I couldn't picture it, while others have far too much and become an absolute drag or contain seemingly useless inserts that have no real place in the story. I can paint you a lovely picture of the room they set in, but do you actually care about that?
