Everyone has emotions, in a story a character will be an angry human being or a depressed person. One thing to know about describing a character; don't just flat-out say it. Authors imply things with the character's movements. If Michelle is confused, she doesn't look at Johnny and say, "I'm confused." She just looks like an airhead then!Here's what writers tell fellow writers, "Look at the...

The thing I hate the most; going potty. A character is human (unless told otherwise). They eat, go to the bathroom, and take a shower like a normal person. If a character needs to go to the bathroom, you don't describe what they're going to do. I've read stories that say, "I did my business, washed my hands and left."While they didn't describe in gross detail, they still gave an outline and I...

Another subject to point out; don't advertise. As I have said before, we read for the story and what's happening to the character. Don't mention TM'ed objects. So what if the boys were playing Super Mario Kart? Is that really an important detail to the story? The nerds at school are having a Harry Potter Movie Marathon and are practicing their Latin, is that really necessary? The girls are...

Okay, now I have to say something important, very important; pay attention to your characters' habits. It may seem stupid to say but I have often read about girls being pale. In fact, almost every character in a story is pale! At least, the main girl is. What, is the girl diseased with Vampire Syndrome? It's not wrong to put them as pale but the girl is usually called athletic. She exercises, goes...

I will now talk about how to write about the character's themselves. How to talk about their appearance and what words not to use. So this section is; appearances.When you read a story, you want to know how a character looks but you don't want it all at once. Never say the appearance in the very first paragraph of the first chapter.Example: My alarm rang out which signaled the hour I had left to...

I am not going to go on about words being like poetry. I will, instead, head-dive right into my first point to be made; characters and characterization. I have heard people talk/ type about Mary Sue's and Gary Stu's in stories. What I will like to point out is there is such thing as a Flat Character and Round Character. I am not calling them fat or anorexic for those that don't know.A Flat...
