Flawed Creation
I'm finally trying to write the scenes for my novel that take place in my cities, scenes which i've been avoiding for a while. every time i try, i find i can't get the right mix of description, exposition, dialogue and action. how much of the city needs to be described? is there more danger of wasting time on lavish descriptions or of not making it clear where all this is going on? whe my angels return form their petrol to the Angel city, should i show them aproaching the city and describe it from there, or just cut to them in the city going about thier business?
is there arnywhere i can advice specifically on establishing place for city scenes? i feel it's very important because the tone and atmosphere of the city establish the culture of my angels.
