Sylvan Glade Tea Party
This is a casual variation on a reading circle. There is no real obligation to read each others' stories (although many of us do read each others' work already anyway), and no structured weekly discus...
After reading everyone's comments, I am going to hold off on explaining things in the comments unless someone directly asks for an explanation and leave more up for interpretation by the reader. I feel like I either go from revealing too much or too little and need to be more consistent.
Me: Such pretty hair color. Is your hair color auburn?
Athena: It's ginger. A mixture of orange and red. Auburn is Ferarri red mix fire brick and burgundy. Thanks! I maintain my hair color by going to the salon 7 times a week and I always ask for Maple to do my hair. No other hairstylist does it better. I inherited my hair color from my dad. His hair color is auburn actually but it's the mixture of genes from mom that my hair color turned out lighter. I must've gotten a lot of pheomelanin from my parents.
I think the more confident you are in your writing the more inclined you would be to react the way this writer did. Because individual interpretation notwithstanding, I'd be likely to see a reader getting "lost" as my fault - as a failing to convey the events better on my part. Which is where I might be likely to overexplain.
