Not sure where to post this question

Yeah like over description is an issue too. Thanks for pointing that out Julie!! that's so true.

But some random non-story-related details can add interest or a personality to the character. Like in my story Waste of Paint I described some random crap in Krystal's house that never will play into the story, will never be mentioned again, but they describe her personality type. Stuff like that. :)

Exactly.  If you're not sure, ask yourself, "What's the point of describing this?"  If you can answer that question, it's probably worth describing.  If it tells something about the character or is important to the scene somehow, go for it!

Great stuff guys! I really wanna improve myself and this all is very helpful!

mare:
Everyone pretty much said what I was going to say but i'll also add on that it's really important to edit your work because you can have the best descriptions in the world but no one will want to read them if you don't take the time to make sure what you wrote is readable.

RokofAges75:
^ LOL also very true.  Presentation is key.
