First of, you have to leave some room for the imagination of your audience. Don't describe the place in too much detail, however, do make sure to make it clear where your character is. It could be something like 'A place with tall, indescribably beautiful trees, surrounding a gorgeous clearing, a grassfield in the middle of a forest.'' This isn't too much, and isn't too little, as the reader has lots of space for imagination. For some, it may be a small, closed off grassfield, with sunlight shining through the branches, while for others, it may be a huge grassfield, dark and gloomy, but weirdly comforting.
Leaving too little for the imagination, may be boring to some, as most people want to be able to imagine what the surrounding area looks like, however, leaving too much for the imagination can also be a bad idea, as the reader can get bored of not being able to imagine the place themselves.
Despite having to leave room for imagination, you also have to make sure to write something that tey can build that imagination off of. If you just write ''A forest,'' it could be almost any kind of forest, it could be pine, elk, birch, oak or mixed trees, so instead of writing ''a forest,'' try with ''A (adjective) (place), with (adjective) (object, ex; trees) (verb) ex; as far as i could see.'' (just an example)
An example of the template i just provided above could be: ''A dashing forest, with large trees stretching out as far as i could see.'' (Free to use, if you wish to write a book with this.)Books can be so well puttogether, character backstories being absolutely amazing, goal set etc, and be super boring to read because the writer didn't explain or fprmulate their environment properly.
