Abbie Emmons | How to Write Character Descriptions Like a Pro @AbbieEmmons | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
Do you struggle with describing characters? Do you find yourself writing lengthy physical descriptions, wondering if you are piling it on a little TOO thick, or on the flip side, fighting to make your way through even a short explanation of a character's appearance, wondering if it's too sparse? Let's face it: sometimes, finding that perfect balance can be confusing. Today, Kate and I are delving into how to write just enough description to satisfy your reader while still leaving plenty of room for their own imaginations. Not to worry, we will give you plenty of ideas and a detailed example of what this looks like in prose. Let's dive in!

My name is Abbie Emmons I teach writers how to make their stories matter by harnessing the power and psychology of storytelling, transforming their ideas into a masterpiece, and creating a lifestyle that makes their author dreams come true.
Story isn’t about “what happens” — it’s about how what happens affects and transforms the characters. I believe that there is an exact science (a recipe, if you will) behind a perfect story. And if you know what ingredients you need, you can create your own perfect story with ease and confidence. That’s what we talk about every week on this channel – and if it’s something you’re into, be sure to subscribe and join this community!
