Thank you for sharing. I signed up I’ve never seen the like. Most articles have only a short list and don’t do much else. A whole website devoted to this is great!

Thanks for sharing Talia! Writing physical description is definitely a challenge, which is why I wanted to post about it. 🙂 I hope your WIP is going great!

I was looking though my WIP to try to find a snippet to share, and… I couldn’t find one. So, here is one from one of my other books:

“Marcus?” Jane asked.
Marcus turned to her and tossed his head to the side to get his hair out of his face. His left eye was swollen and there was a little blood on his forehead. “Hello, Jane,” he said. His voice sounded fatigued, as if merely speaking was an overexertion of his energy. “Are you… are you all right?”

So that’s the best I can do at the moment. 🙂 I’ve been meaning to go back and revise my WIP, and I will definitely be using the tips in this post. And the thesaurus collection at One Stop. 🙂

It is all about having fun, isn’t? When we can pair dialogue and the physical to really get our character’s nature across, that’s magic. 🙂
