Always worth reminding ourselves from time to time about what I think are the golden rules of writing:
* Do not write for yourself, always write for the reader
* You may wish to pack lots of information in but does the reader need it?
* You may not have put enough information in - you can imagine where a scene is set but have you given the reader the information they need?
* You may have drawn a character but are they real or just a clichéd cardboard cut-out?
* Be disciplined - if it is not needed chop it out
