When is enough?

Advice for the day...
     You know, not every writer can please every reader out there. Some readers like fantasy, some sci-fi, romance, fiction. There are the anti-magic readers out there. The realists and techno-geeks, the romantics and action-adrenalin freaks. And though there are tons of different readers in the world, there are books to please every one of them.
     The point, you ask? Well, my advice for you writers out there is this: if you want to become popular, write what you want, but write it well and write it appropriate. Play with the audience. Tease them, torture them, push them to the edge, make them cry and make them laugh but know when it's too much and when it's too little. Readers like just the right amount. I would know--I'm a reading fanatic myself.
     Writers should understand that people don't like to feel uncomfortable while reading--you have to play to your audience. Play the tune they want and play it good.
     A writer should understand a person's motives. That said, it is also essential for a writer to be realistic to some extent, even writing fantasy.
     Your challenge from today's post: practice writing in just enough detail to spike a reader's passion, but not too much that they become tired of reading it.
     Your next question now might be, 'How do I do that?' And here's my answer.
     To have just enough you need to have detail. Follow the character. Don't put everything about the character into one paragraph or even one chapter--siphon it out slowly so that the character grows on the reader.
     Don't put descriptions of something into one paragraph, either, or, if the case calls, even in the same chapter or page. Ease it out as the character sees it. Describe it as the character would; in their words and in their ideas of things.
     A writer has to train themselves to see when to stop and when to keep going. Soon enough it will become instinct.
