Yeah, there's definitely a point where description is overkill. None of it is necessary, but it spices up a work nice as long as it is used well. Words should always be used in moderation no matter what word it is. ^^ I personally find that I far overuse the word 'though'.

There's nothing wrong with description! It's just word choice! Trust me I used to be the LY queen! Now I try not to use it unless in RPs cause I have to type them fast and don't care much for word choice. Lys can be avoided with ease(see? Instead avoided easily, avoided with ease)

True, it has to do a lot with style as well, at least in my opinion. It's always something I've done (with moderation) so I've never considered actually writing without it. In posts, I tend to use it to cushion my opinions because I don't want to come off too strong. It writing, I use it for color. "The breeze blew softly..." "He trudged lazily along..." "She glanced around the room surreptitiously." (I don't even know how to rephrase that last one. XD) It's a simple style choice. And to each, their own right?

I do have to say though, I love these little daily challeges. They are very fun. ^^

scmarshtacky, I find I overuse description a bit too much, currently trying to cut down on it. As you said, as long as you don't use too much it can make things a bit more interesting and fun! Unless for dramatic effect overusing a single word can be a bit boring and repetitive too, I guess you've just got to watch how many of a type of word you put in!

Sounds good! What type of place is it set in, that might give us an idea of what sort of characters you could use.

[{Inked Hearts}]

It is in a mid evil time set,they live in snowy mountains but the main city is an ancient ground that looks somewhat like this, otherwise it is large valleys,small villages,lakes,forests,and an ancient buried palace where an ancient relic is that they must find to save the golden wyvern.
