I don’t know why, but I’m having trouble getting your posts in my email box. I’ve checked the spam filter and updated many times, but still no luck. I miss getting them!! Anyone else having an issue?

Thanks for this helpful post. I was just trying to come up with a description for my new MC’s love interest that wasn’t the stereotypical muscle-bound man. This will work perfectly.

Great points! It’s always fun to twist up what’s expected 🙂

Great examples. It’s funny that I have so many body types right in my family. Two of my boys are bigger boned. There’s not way they can look slender even when they are thin. Two of the boys (one especially) is very slender, even what I’ve always called wiry. Nearly 6’6 and about 200 lbs. Very long bones. 😀

Your trait entries are SO helpful. One trait I’m looking for help on…just a spark…is voice. I can picture so many voices in my head, but am having difficulty describing them without naming celebrities like Angie Harmon, Truman Capote, and James Earl Jones. Any ideas?

How did you know? I’m writing a romance in which one of the men is “slender” and I don’t want that to imply skinny or unmasculine somehow. Thanks for the tips!
