E061 - Editing White Rooms

This podcast episode, "Editing White Rooms," features a discussion between co-hosts Miss Catherine MH and VE Griffith, as they explore the concept of "white rooms" in writing—scenes lacking descriptive setting. They each share their personal struggles with incorporating setting details, with Miss Katherine MH tending to over-describe and VE Griffith often under-describing. The hosts offer practical advice for writers and editors on how to identify and address white rooms, emphasizing the importance of sensory details and character interaction with the environment to create a more immersive experience for the reader. They also touch upon the balance between providing sufficient detail and maintaining narrative pace, and the differing challenges of describing indoor versus outdoor settings.
