In the last chapter, I explained how you can sue your main accent (based on setting) for dialogue and sub accent (any accent different than your own) for descriptions. Your descriptions flow hand in hand with sentence structure. 

For example, you wouldn't say "Atlas got up fast. He ran to the car. He opened the door and drove off quickly." You want to make it more exciting. Even if it's a mild filler sentence, it always has a place and room for improvement: "Atlas dashed out the door and into the car. Slamming the gas he sped away." Both sentences mean the same thing, but a reader is much more likely to feel something with the second one. In this case, we condensed 3 sentences into two. Again, I digress, quality over quantity.

 The sentence structure can also be determined by the pace of your description. In my short story 'The Hope of the Resistance', my character is running to warn her loved ones that they are about to fight. At the start, I would not want long sentences. I would use short sentences to convey that she is in a hurry and out of breath. For example: "My heart was pounding. My blood thrummed. I have to warn them; they are coming." vs "I could feel my heart beating rapidly inside my chest. My blood was thrumming through my veins. I had to warn them that they were coming." The first one gives the reader a rushed feeling rather than a long lazy description of her bodily functions.

This is not to say that long descriptions are bad. They can be good if used in the right scenarios, but it's all about context. Don't use short sentences for a sentimental moment. Using my aforementioned short story again, I have a scene where the mother is telling her daughter goodbye and doesn't know if she will ever see her again. My initial response was to rush this because they were in trouble. Upon further inspection and with a tip from my aunt, (Kristi Anne Hunter- author of the Hawthorne House Series) I reevaluated the scene.

The reevaluation looked like this: "I looked at my beautiful daughter. We hugged tightly. I watched as she disappeared in the crowd" vs "I looked at my beautiful daughter. I felt tears well in my eyes as we squeezed each other tight, too scared to let go. We parted much to fast and my heart ached as I watched her disappear into the crowd."

Note: these are not word for word my story contents, but more or less paraphrased versions to get my point across.

Descriptions can be one of the hardest things for a writer to grasp, so I hope this helps someone to harness their own 'accent' and create something lovely.
