How to Write Character Descriptions Like a Pro

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?

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.

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.
