Yes, generally. But you should not over expand, which is what people describe on here as 'purple prose'.

Like I said before, in my humble opinion I think Meg has to physically walk in the front door, go across the floor, up the stairs, enter the room, go to the wardrobe, then get the book.
In a straight sequence.

The beats of the writing must punctuate that process.
And there should be beats.
Like her footsteps. Bitesize pieces, that follow one another.
Pausing every now and then is fine, to elaborate on something special, to occasionally explain something more important. Like a longer note in a piece of music.
But there is a beat, and a flow.
