Elmore Leonard’s ten rules of writing, number nine:
9. Don’t go into great detail describing places and things.
Unless you’re Margaret Atwood and can paint scenes with language or write landscapes in the style of Jim Harrison. But even if you’re good at it, you don’t want descriptions that bring the action, the flow of the story, to a standstill.
I take a lot of the ten rules to heart. Your mileage may, of course, vary.
