Some authors lean more toward action and dialog while others favor imagery and emotion. There’s a place for all of it, depending on the scene. Knowing what to include where will demonstrate your skill as an author.
Never slow down heavy action with a lot of detail. Settings should be established beforehand as well as the protagonist’s emotional state.
Thanks, Ron. When a book makes you feel something and actually think, it’s much more memorable than just one with a lot of action. Your “Billy Battles” series certainly makes the grade!

Good advice, Marcha! Too much of one and not enough of the other can make for a one-dimensional book.
