Writing Knowledge: Basics to Advance

All about Descriptions: Part one

It’s me again! LOL

Descriptions . . .  this is quite a tricky topic, since I want to explore it all, this segment will be dived into three parts, my findings and what other people on wattpad think about descriptions, followed by an interview with 7Bloodfire, who knows how to do a good description! :)

Okay, now where to start hmmm… how about we start with character description first and then go from there. Already I’ve found a ton of useful info on character description, there are tons of people on wattpad, er. . . including myself, at times, that have no idea how to describe a character. Common people! Even I know describing a character like a list is just showing just how inexperienced you truly are!

For Example: Sally had brown hair, the deepest blue eyes and was taller than your average person, with a round nose.

NO NO NO NO NO! NO a freaking thousand times, whatever you do, DO NOT take that root, common dust of those cobwebs and thinking!

Lets go ahead and start with a basic sheet you can keep with yourself (NOT WRITTEN IN A BOOK!) this will help you out when you want to write about a character but you’re not quite sure what you want this person to be like or look like that way for that matter.
