Taking me a while to write small unimportant details in fiction
Post Body
Ok so I'm quite new to fiction writing, but recently I've been writing my first story.
What I find difficult is having to write small details, the unimportant stuff. For example, my character has to travel across London to get to the hospital. How much description do I actually need to say he gets from A to B?
I know the advice here is "just write", which is what I've been doing, but I find myself taking too much time over pointless details like my character having to get the tube.
