Okay, this happens a whole lot.
The main character always describes herself in a two page long paragraph. Necessary? I think not.
Here is an example I wrote all by myself.
“Hi, my name is Annabelle Jones and I’m eighteen years old. I only live with my alcoholic father because my mother died in a car accident when I was nine. I cut myself because my life sucks. I have long, brown, curly hair and dazzling green eyes. I have a curvy body and a tan complexion. I think I’m ugly. I grew up in Mullingar and guess who my best friend is? Niall James Horan.”
What. The. Freak. I don't want your life story. All I need is your name and age.
Okay, so suddenly, you live in the exact same town that your favorite celebrity grew up in?
Newsflash, they most likely don't live there anymore, so AT LEAST do reasearch if you're going to write about that!
Oh, yes, and not all women die in car accidents. Some die because of sickness and diseases. Or maybe they saw Justin Bieber.
There's more where that came from.
