Hi, friends! Hope you enjoy the video! I'd love to hear from you in the comments if you have more tips for writing vivid character descriptions or maybe a favorite passage from a book where an author describes a character.

Wow! Now? I want to read that book again! But, as a writer, this video does a fantastic job in helping me understand the mechanics of writing better. I love this video!

[@InkwellMedia]

Thanks so much, Cindy! It's a fantastic book to re-read. :) So happy you found the video helpful!

Excellent - thank you. I have always enjoyed Scott Fitzgerald's lyrical writing. A genius.

[@InkwellMedia]

Thank you, Cally! He's a masterful writer.

Most helpful tips to make powerful statements salient to the character him/herself by describing a seemingly trivial characteristic poinient to the personality. Not trivial at all. You are so right about avoiding the 'police report description'. Pooh Bear falling asleep....well chosen. Thank you Nicole for exploring this. Good food for thought to add more power to describing characters in my own writing.

Thank you for your kind comment! Glad you enjoyed the Pooh meme. :D All the best with your writing!

Ooo, those are some really good tips. Especially about how the character traits affect them (like, as you said, if a character is tall, is he comfortable with that?). I definitely to keep that in mind! Amazing work on this video!!!! :)) Love it!!!

Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I think it makes the description more memorable for the reader when you explore how the color of a character's hair, their height, etc., affects their personality.

F. Scott spent most of his time describing men. Just saying.

[@antidelusionalpeeps]

I think Tender is the Night would disagree with you.

[@martellc1008]

That doesn’t discount what he said, though both things are true at once especially in relation to each other & the same ❤😊

[@martellc1008]

I am referring to Philips comment ❤ but also agree with the core of you two but it’s not just that book it’s in great Gatsby too ❤😊

Instead of focusing on his blind spots, try focusing on his strengths, and absorb them.
