S7E2 – How Do I Describe Characters Without Boring the Reader?
from Writing Roots Hosted by Writing Roots
Today’s FAQ is all about descriptions, especially character descriptions. It’s difficult to find the balance between enough description to actually give readers a mental image of what’s happening, and inundating them with three pages about a tree. Descriptions are vital for a story. They immerse readers into the world, and help make characters real. Just think of all the fan art of popular books out there. That wouldn’t be possible – or they’d all be wildly different – if the author didn’t have detailed and interesting descriptions. Ley and Leigh discuss how and when to provide your readers with details about a character’s looks, whether from their perspective or another’s. First aired December 6, 2021. The post S7E2 – How Do I Describe Characters Without Boring the Reader? appeared first on Writing Roots.
