good evening, my dear kelly. just wanted to drop in here and tell you how wonderful you are. i've left some baked goods and a decent sized heap of my affection by the door.

EXCUSE YOU-!

Hayley, wait, come back! Don't drop sweetness at my door (or on my dash or in my inbox) and RUN AWAY!

I will find you and I will hug you and kiss you and cuddle you while I tell you how much I appreciate your friendship and support.

happy saturday kelly!! 💚 what are you working on tonight?

i'm hoping to finish up my din oneshot, but i've been watching wwdits and i'm getting distracted.

so imagine me typing this, lying on my stomach on pillows in front of my tv with my feet up, in true sleepover fashion ok?

Happy Sleepover Saturday Hayley!

I'm actually playing some Stardew Valley tonight (with the Din mod of course 🤭) since I posted the second chapter to my poly throuple earlier.

I absolutely love that you're kicked up in true sleepover fashion, my gaming chair as a footrest that I have up too so I'm reclined back at my desk.

If you don't finish that oneshot there's no stress, though I'd really like to read it.

I'm the first chapter and it starts of just fine but then when the characters are talking it has 3 paragraphs about the backstory of the character's sister and I want to know if that counts as "to much exposition"

That’s a loaded question!

No two readers are going to agree on what’s too much or too little.

You can put what you feel is the absolute bare minimum and you’ll still have readers who think it’s too much. You can go on for pages and many readers will love it. 

But what’s generally acceptable? What’s en vogue right now, in the publishing world? 

As little as possible. 

You will never be able to go exposition free. In fact, that’d likely be a weird, shallow read. But trim away anything that’s not needed. Focus on including what strengthens your narrative and pushes the story forward. What backstory or exposition needs to be included, try to keep it short and sprinkle it through the action of your story. 

In your early drafts, put what you think is needed and then let beta readers help you figure out what of that is actually needed. 

~mod haylstorm

What’s too much exposition? The moment your reader starts noticing that they’re reading exposition. If it goes on too long to pull you out of the narrative and bog down your story, then you’ve done too much.

If you can do it effectively and naturally, then there could be virtually no limit on the amount of exposition you include. Neal Stephenson is a master at going on for pages and pages about something as mundane as a rope and it doesn’t pull you out. It draws you in. 

So if you can achieve that, then write exposition to your heart’s content.

Happy revising!
