So I've TRIED to read stories lately but most of the time they just describe the character and then start the story. YOU HAVE TO WEAVE IN WHAT YOUR CHARACTER LOOKS LIKE!!!!! You can't just say "I'm blonde haired blue eyed" it's like giving a police description!!!! FIX IT!!!!
LOL! She's right though. At the very beginning, you want to get the story started, not give descriptions about your characters. Not a total/perfect description anyway. Just give a little at a time, let it flow with the story. Thank you for your time, Shana!
Right: "I flipped my blonde hair over my shoulder, my blue eyes sparkling" Wrong: "I have blonde hair and blue eyes"
I've tried to say this is so many stories, but no one listens! It's so annoying. Some even do this: Name: Character Height: Hair Color: Eye Color: Age: And no, I do NOT mean for rps either.
Oh Jesus I just saw a writer describe there characters as if it were an RP. I didn't even bother reading the story
The only time I have ever described my characters as if was for a police description was twice, and they died a long time ago.
