Please, No Need to Explain
Today, we're going to discuss repetition, especially where it fits in with details while writing your scene.
I'm sure you've read it before. I'm sure you've written it before. Heck, I certainly have!
You write a beautifully descriptive sentence about a character's actions. Then, you explain it.
Don't know what I'm talking about? Here's an example:

“Close your eyes now,' the blind man said to me. I did it. I closed them just like he said.
'Are they closed?' he said. 'Don't fudge.'
'They're closed,' I said.
'Keep them that way,' he said. He said, 'Don't stop now. Draw.'

But I had my eyes closed. I thought I'd keep them that way for a little longer. I thought it was something I ought to do.
'Well?" he said. 'Are you looking?'
My eyes were still closed. I was in my house. I knew that. But I didn't feel like I was inside anything.
'It's really something,' I said.”
